description: An ANC member who was abducted from Mamelodi, Pretoria, on 15 July 1987 by a Northern Transvaal Security Branch askari purporting to be an MK operative. He and two others were taken to the Portland Cement mine near Pienaarsrivier, where they were tortured during interrogation and then killed by electric shock. Their bodies were taken to an abandoned road in Bophuthatswana and blown up in a landmine explosion. Three Northern Transvaal Security Branch operatives were granted amnesty (AC/1999/0030, AC/1999/0032/ and AC/2000/107).
