“The head of the prison, Mr. Smith and Mr. Meyer, already received him there which is strange. While receiving him, they received a phone call from the minister, Mr Groenewald who told them in my client’s presence over the phone that they must make his life in prison. Since then, everybody that he was in custody with got assaulted. In the evening they came to his cell and made him strip naked and said we know you have got a phone,” says Liebenberg’s lawyer.
