Trust Feeds massacre

Explanation
The attack that came to be known as the 'Trust Feeds massacre' was planned by Riot, Security and local policemen and Inkatha members. Members of the SAP and the Riot Unit arrested known UDF supporters at Trust Feeds, New Hanover, near Pietermaritzburg, on 2 December 1988 and then withdrew from the area, leaving UDF-supporting families particularly vulnerable to attack. The next day, 3 December 1988, four Special Constables stormed and opened fire on an all-night prayer vigil in a house believed by the perpetrators to be occupied by UDF supporters. Eleven people were killed. None of the victims or survivors were UDF supporters. An SAP member and four Special Constables were convicted for the murders. The Commission granted amnesty to a former SAP captain for his part in planning and executing the attack.
