And then there were those who became the victims of paranoia and power games inside the liberation movements. // Fikile Mpehlo was shot in the back of his head in Grahamstown in 1986. Former superspy Graig Williamson said that Steve Biko was betrayed by a police informer. The community suspected Mpehlo. // They arrived again at about 11 in the morning. Among those kids there was a girl in a mini dress with three others. She said I can shoot you anytime. She pointed a gun at me and I raised my arms and pleaded for my life. You’ve already killed an innocent person, now you’ve come to kill my family. What have we done? She said we’ve been sent to come and kill you and burn down your house.
