Special Report Transcript Episode 22, Section 3, Time 17:13

I remember two days before that fateful day my wife and I and another couple were driving to Natal where I was going to address a graduation function at the Lutheran Theological College. And on our way out we got word that Ike had been detained the night before. We thought it was one of those detentions that would not end up in Tshifhiwa’s death. Next day in the morning, Saturday, just before I went to deliver the graduation lecture I got a call from pastor Mahamba telling me that they got a reliable report from a doctor who came to inform the family that Ike had died. It was after his death that many more people were detained including myself. The security police came and it was my turn. They collected me and the first question they raised in that security police car was: if we had not come to detain you what kind of dangerous sermon were you going to preach at Tshifhiwa’s funeral. Of course that was a funeral I would never attend.
