Special Report Transcript Episode 6, Section 3, Time 10:50

Thabo Moorosi was detained in 1986 in the old Bophuthatswana. // I was taken to Mafikeng police station where I was forced to remain naked in a cell and then I was tortured brutally. And then I was hit with the back of a gun on my head and all this horrible things were done to me. So they wanted military information from me, beating me every day. Then there would come another group saying they were from the security police beating me. Then, I was naked, pulling me with my private parts, hitting me on the head, and even I’ve got a spine problem ... // Now when you’re saying they were pulling you by your private parts, what do you mean, how do they do that? // They pulled me with my private parts, because I was naked. I went to see a psychiatrist, if I don’t get that treatment I become confused. Sometimes even if I get it I remain confused sometimes, because I cannot sleep. Even if I try to work, I was supposed to have joined the integration process of the army. So, even the doctors there realised that I was not suitable for the army.
