MASHIANE, Joseph Thabo

Age 22

Description
Was shot in the face with birdshot by members of the ISU in Katlehong, Transvaal, on 10 April 1990 while on patrol during conflict between rival taxi associations. Mr Mashane was permanently blinded as a result of his injuries.

When I got into the house I put the light on trying to see as to which part of me was bleeding. I switched on the light, and I kept on switching the light on and off without seeing anything. That’s when I realized that I had turned blind.
