description: An ANC supporter who was abducted by AWB supporters in Hoopstad, OFS, in 1993. Mr Papala was walking in the street wearing an ANC T-shirt during a boycott. He was severely assaulted and then locked in a garage, from which he managed to escape. The incident took place at a time when members of the AWB were carrying out random attacks in retaliation for the ‘one settler, one bullet’ campaign by APLA members.
