I saw him in the cell, Mr. Julius.
:21:03
Did you speak to him?
:21:05
I talked to him and said:
:21:08
"My child, what have they done to you?"
:21:11
But he could not answer.
:21:14
And then a policeman came.
:21:20
- It's me, Wellington.
- Wellington?

:21:24
Come in.
:21:28
They released me this afternoon.
:21:30
- My mother said that you wished to see me.
- Yes.

:21:33
What have they done to you?
:21:39
Two times, they put a wet bag on my head.
:21:43
You can't breathe, Baba.
:21:46
You think you're going to die.
:21:50
They never stopped, Baba.
:21:53
They kept asking,
"Who are the ringleaders?"

:21:59
But, what can I tell them?
:22:03
I know nothing.
:22:06
I heard Jonathan next door.
:22:08
He was screaming in Afrikaans.
:22:11
Asseblief mei, baas.
:22:21
Then it was very quiet.
:22:25
And the man said, "Come on, Ngubene.
:22:29
"Get up.
:22:31
"Stop pretending."
:22:36
That's all I know, Baba.
:22:39
Later, somebody said...
:22:43
he was taken to the hospital.
:22:47
I never saw him again.
