Special Report Transcript Episode 45, Section 4, Time 14:51

In 1988 Durban policemen led by Col Andy Taylor blew up three members of the Umkhonto we Sizwe unit known as ‘The Swimmers’ here at Phoenix Railway Station. The dead were all KwaMashu student activists. Their names were Vusi Mtshali, Sibusiso Ndlovu and Mazwi Vilakazi. But the MK unit had another member. This is a story of Naye Ngema, the one who got away. // Definitely I was going to be one of those people, definitely. Because it means that they were knowing everything about us, I think so. That’s why I said that the only thing maybe which makes me to survive is only that the unit just say I must go outside.

Notes: Phoenix railway station; Naye Ngema (former MK soldier)
