I don’t know when ... By the 1960s the repression that resulted after then after the banning of the ANC and the shooting of people at Sharpeville, you know, covered the whole country. And, at this time they began whole scale arrests of opponents of apartheid, and repression was really all round. But what precisely is a witch? And what do they do that people fear them so? // Although we are speaking of one province here each area has got a large number of certain ethnic groups. If you take Northern Sotho speaking people many people were accused of having caused lightning, whereas if you go ... The case went to the Cape Town Supreme Court. The 26 men spent almost 18 months in prison before the state star witness finally admitted to lying. // This x54 who testified in court was a boy from Victoria West. We never really noticed him. He’s originally from Molteno this Harry Maphiri. He was ... Some of the issues that we would argue that need to be addressed are identifying and documenting past abuses. We would also argue that the same processes that apply to the Truth Commission in general should also apply to the medical profession so we’ve seen that the many witnesses testifying at ...
