‘Fighters then, forgotten now: Laaitie comrades of the Cape Flats, Report by Gail Reagon.’ // In Cape Town last week young adults gathered to speak about human rights violations against them as teenagers. Three were partially blinded, victims of random police shootings. This story is about the ones who chose to be comrades, who were actively punished by the government for taking that decision, who were detained, tortured and betrayed and who today carry their scars within. Moegamat Williams was a member of the Bonteheuwel Military Wing, (BMW) a grouping involved in semi-military operations on the Cape Peninsula.
