Age 49

Description
Was beaten and and seriously injured with rifle butts by members of the SAP in March 1992 in Sharpeville, Vereeniging, Tvl, because he refused to be taken to the police station in a hearse. Mr Rabotapi and others were accused of trespassing when clearing a piece of land for occupation. He could not afford to pay the fine and was denied medical attention during his detention. After his release, he was hospitalised and is now disabled as a result of the injuries he sustained in the beating.
