Special Report Transcript Episode 23, Section 4, Time 21:28

Already in prison there were signs that the effect of the torture was more than physical. Siphiwo spent two months in the Queenstown psychiatric hospital. He was sent back to the cells, not home. // I went to the police station and requested that I see my son. Then a policeman took me to the cell. He was alone in the cell. Both his hands and his legs were tied. When I looked at him as a parent I realized that he was mentally disturbed. When he saw me he just cried. I could see that my son had changed. // I always told my mother that I would give her beautiful things. I would work for my mother. Now I did not get that chance to work for my mother. The government of Botha made me like this, like you see me now.
