Special Report Transcript Episode 21, Section 5, Time 29:43If there’s anyone out there who are, including our members, who either have knowledge of situations like this or were involved in it then they should report that to the Truth Commission. // Mxolisi Mbewana lost an eye after being shot. During his five weeks at the hospital soldiers are regular visitors. // They used to come to the hospital in the presence of the nurses and doctors. // So do you think there was a certain connection between the nurses and the soldiers? // I think the nurses were scared of the soldiers also. They were just asking people concerning their injuries whether they got injured at Duncan Village or wherever. But I didn’t tell them, because all the people who were there were under the guard of the soldiers and after that person had recovered, that particular person would be taken by the soldiers. Notes: Gavin Damster (Medical Association of SA); Reporter; TRC testimony: Mxolisi Mbewana Was shot by members of the SADF during political conflict in Duncan Village, East London, on 13 October 1985. |
