They were Thozamile BOTHA, PEBCO chairman, Phalo TSHUME, secretary, Mono BADELA, Post reporter and Dan QEQE, garage owner and sports administrator. All were held initially under the General Laws Amendment Act and then transferred to Terrorism Act detention.
PEBCO vice-president Lizo Pityana was banned in December
