HERBST, Jacqueline Edna

Age 21

Description
Was severely beaten with rifle butts by members of the SADF 32 Battalion, in Tokoza, Transvaal, on 8 April 1992. Ms Herbst was one of more than one hundred Phola Park residents including women and teenagers assaulted by members of 32 Battalion after an SADF member was shot and injured in Phola Park. Two women were also shot dead and at least four raped during the raid. An investigation by Justice Goldstone concluded that the soldiers had acted in a manner ‘completely inconsistent with the function of a peacekeeping force’ and recommended that the unit should not be used for peacekeeping duties anywhere in South Africa.
