Sunday August 11th 1985. Residents of Duncan Village township in East London travelled in busloads to the funeral of Victoria Mxenge. // Victoria Mxenge and other leaders, even her late husband Griffiths Mxenge, meant a lot because they knew we were oppressed by the government of the day. We were glad when we saw them there up front. They were our leaders; that is black people’s leaders. That is why we were upset about her death. One of our leaders was killed, someone who was taking us out of oppression towards freedom.
