Once at the police station,
Tendai Masocha was released after some time,
Leaving Amandlenkosi and Advent in police custody.
Lawyer Nqobani Sithole asked police to produce the boys,
But they denied arresting them,
He insisted coz their 2 cars were parked outside.

Eventually,
The police produced Amandla & Advent,
But claimed they didn't have Tawanda,
His cousins told the lawyer that indeed they had been arrested together with Tawanda,
But he had been whisked away in a separate car.
Police released Amandlenkosi that night.

On 31 July,
Advent was also released,
But the police continued denying having taken Tawanda.
The lawyer immediately started preparing a harbeus corpus application,
Which was granted on 1 Aug,
Day 3 of Tawanda's enforced disappearance.
Tawanda was then released.

Tawanda was dumped some km from his uncle's house,
He says he ghosted into the house,
With bruises and open wounds,
From torture by a team that shouted "ferret" at toll gates & was allowed through.
He filed a report & was admitted in hospital for treatment.

His doctors discovered worse horrors than his external wounds showed,
They discovered internal damage,
Particularly to the kidneys,
And he had to begin dialysis to address the renal failure.
He had also been forced to eat food dipped in something resembling paint.

Before the expiration of the 72 hours the magistrate had given the police,
A police ambulance took Tawanda from the hospital,
And drove him to court to produce him to the magistrate who is said to have failed to hide his shock upon seeing the state Tawanda was in.

Upon release,
Tawanda said his captors asked for Mathuthu's address,
& He initially gave a wrong add,
Mathuthu's warrant of arrest had a wrong add,
Proving beyond reasonable doubt, Tawanda's captors were working with govt departments who wrote & served that warrant,
