people's war

Explanation
a popular national rebellion of both trained soldiers and ordinary civilians during the mid- to late 80s. The strategy, promoted by the ANC, involved integrating armed MK combatants with mass organisations inside South African townships, and rendering the townships ungovernable through attacks on the security forces and other representatives of the state.

We are particularly outraged at her obvious complicity in the recent abductions and assault on young people like Stompie. We believe that had Stompie and his three colleagues not been abducted by Mrs. Mandela’s Football Team, he would have been alive today. The Mass Democratic Movement at this ...
Derby-Lewis did admit that the list of 19 names found at Walus’ flat on his arrest, which is widely believed to have been a right-wing inspired hit list, was hers. // Did you at any stage conspire with Mr. Kemp in order to draw up a list to be used as a hit list to kill Mr. Hani or any other ...
Many of the residents in this land compare us to a bunch of racists who go out to assault people. I think the time has come for us to break away from that. We want to live in peace with the other people of this nation. We want to create a future for our children and our grandchildren.
On one hand there is a sense of great honour, completely undeserved, to be part of this instrument for the reconciliation of our nation, the trust that makes such an appointment possible. It’s an awesome honour. It leaves you humble. But also there is the feeling when you sit down at the end of ...
I don’t know, I told you just now I don’t know nothing about it. The first I know about it is when these people, a month ago, two months … two months ago they were on the farm and they asked permission to come and have a look if there are new graves, or whatever. That’s all.
It was a fluent kind of living, vibrant community and I think longing for the kind of freedom that hopefully we’re getting into now, that’s what made it such a magical place and I think it will always hold a place in the imaginations of the people that lived through it and maybe those who ...
In dealing with the unconventional strategies from the side of the government, I want to make it clear from the outset that within my knowledge and experience they never included the authorisation of assassination, murder, torture, rape, assault or the like. // Where does political accountability ...
There’s the one question of extradition, and I think that the chair person is absolutely right, we start with our own minister he will then say to us, well we haven’t been asked. So, then we will go back to Namibia and say, well, why haven’t you asked? But, there is a second point and that ...
... we’ve come from that I think that if we had to reverse the roles and would have asked members of the former organisations like the ANC to come forward during the era when Minister De Klerk was in power, none of the ANC people would have come forward to come and ask the then National Party. And ...
I would like the people who are in prison to be released because it is not their offence. They weren’t responsible. When we got there, the petitions were handed over, the first petition, the second petition, and the third petition. When it was time to hand over the third petition then there was a ...
If you look into some of the areas you will see how that the old order tries to encourage division. I mean between the Ciskei and the Transkei, this is one if you like tribe, everybody’s speaking Xhosa and yet the old order divided these people and we must now find a way to concile and reconcile ...
But there is still no extradition treaty between the two countries. However, there is a way out. According to the Extradition Act the president can declare the suspects liable for extradition. The normal legal processes would then follow as if there were an extradition treaty. But the Namibians nor ...
Religious propaganda that emanated from the apartheid system was effective Mr. Chairperson. It made many of our members feel guilty about any form of opposition, disobedience or even criticism of the government policy. As a result the church was silent when it should actually have spoken out. ...
It’s a breakthrough. It’s a breakthrough in the sense that mentally, emotionally, things will be normalized now. It’s very great. Look, it worked inside us. People don’t see it. I’m happy to see these bones here; I have picked up the bones myself, I lend a hand there. So, we are taking ...
There are a number of ex-MK people who’ve arrived now. Mr. Dlamini is feeling intimidated by these young men and Mr. Mbatha as well and this may be the reason why he’s reluctant to talk right now. // After we heard that there could be some form of intimidation or threats against your person or ...
Myself with my axe, I’d say after the others had fired and had run out of bullets, Michael in particular Rooivark. Some people were still moving; that is the ones that were shot. Ntjebo then instructed that we should finish them off and I hit the ones who were still moving. I was only ...
After I’ve seen these people I suspected that those were the people who might have killed my brother. They were not alone, they were with some other people from another section at Vusimusi, it was an Inkatha section.
We sat at this table over here, and later on there was, when we actually arrived here there were three black people sitting at the table. And they sat here for quite a while; the one chap actually was staring at my sister. I had my back at them unfortunately. He was staring so hard at my sister ...
It was a white person wearing balaclavas. Round the eyes I could see and the nose was a sharp nose and it wasn’t that of our black people.
If I think about that I feel my heart inside and my brains is like water, boiling. // And now was trying to make the people refugees of South Africa. // Sorry to say it but when I try to think about us, I want to cry.
