Special Report Transcript Episode 2, Section 8, Time 14:06

By March 1986, the planned forced removal to Khayelitsha took an ugly turn. The combination of vigilante wit doek and police activity designed to flush out progressives as well as affect the state’s removals, led to open warfare between the comrades and ”fathers.” The result: Many homes burnt down, 50 000 homeless, countless deaths. Lenox Maphalane was on his way home to his mother when he was killed.
