Nzimeni Bosman was arrested for handing out pamphlets in 1991 in Kimberley. // Then I went into the police station. There were two white guys, I don’t know their names and a police man called Petrus wanted to take my finger prints and he put my head into the toilet seat. When I pulled my head out, trying to look around, one other white guy who was a sergeant told me to look at the back and he hit me with a gun on my face. And blood came running out of my mouth and I said to him, because I was afraid of him I … him and said, please look at me, blood is coming out of my mouth. // Patrick, you are talking about the time when you were in the police station and you were beaten and tortured in the police station, your shoulder was broken. Is that right? // That’s true and I was also injured on my stomach, just below my ribs. I have to lift up my hands before I can speak. I get enough power to speak when I stretch out my hands. But if I don’t do that I feel the pain on my diaphragm; it’s like something is stinging on my diaphragm. So when I lift my hands I have the power or the stamina to talk for a longer period. // Talking now is quite difficult for you Patrick? // Yes, I have a pain, especially running from my stomach up to the shoulder and my neck muscles are blowing up a bit. My neck muscles are blowing up a bit.
