Special Report Transcript Episode 18, Section 4, Time 21:20Many of the victims at the Nelspruit hearings this week were teenagers at a time when education was not necessarily academic. And it was difficult to distinguish between a playground and a war zone. In the mid-eighties they embraced the struggle for liberation determinedly regardless of the cost. Hundreds of school children gathered at the Kabukweni magistrate’s court on 11 March 1986. They were there to support fellow students who were charged with public violence. Although the court building is no longer there Elizabeth Mdluli and Amos Maseko remember the day it drew students and police together in conflict.
