| Time | Summary | | | 26:23 | Joseph Kwetle has never been charged for his part in the Johannesburg bomb. For the Duvenhage’s this was a chance to set the record straight. Theirs was one of many tragedies told this week. On Thursday, the families of four Kagiso teenagers explained how their children were led into a trap set by police. | Full Transcript | | 26:49 | I am Maide Selebi. I am here today due to my younger brother, Bimbo. // My name is Emily Gumede. I’m here on behalf of my brother, what happened before he died. // I am Psholofelo Leboke. I’m here on behalf of my brother being Bimbo Matabane, relating to his death. My brother Ntshingo Matabane left on a Friday after having finished his standard ten exams. He said he’s going to the Colosseum. I refused, but he said, I’m accompanied by Bimbo, but I cannot disappoint them, I have to go with them. | Full Transcript and References | | 27:39 | The fourth teenager Zando Musi survived to tell the tale. Zando’s older brother, Mbulelo, had skipped the country in 1976 along with a close family friend known both as Ephraim and Francis. Mbulelo joined Umkhonto we Sizwe. When Ephraim turned up in Kagiso in the early eighties it was understood that he was MK and operating underground. Zando entrusted Ephraim with the secret of his and his friend’s desire to fight for the liberation army. | Full Transcript and References | | 28:19 | He said we should meet at the industrial station on a Saturday. We met on the Saturday and he told us that he had prepared everything for us for training. He would train us. They took us to West Rand Mines. When we got to the West Rand Mines we parked the car a few meters from where we were supposed to go. Joe Mamasela was driving. | Full Transcript | | 28:49 | This week Zando showed the sisters of his murdered friends the place where they were supposed to get their military training. He explained that Joe Mamasela stayed outside in the car while Ephraim took them inside a hut, showed them hand grenades and then left them alone saying he had to fetch more training equipment. | Full Transcript | | 29:12 | There was a box in the corner of the room. That box looked very suspicious. When I looked at the box I just heard an explosion. The people who died immediately are Bimbo and Ntshingo. Fanyana was next to me. We could not see each other but we could speak to each other. He could not see or walk. I was bleeding. Fanyana was lying down on my left side. We were holding hands. What I remember which is very painful is that he had a hole on his body, because my hand entered his body, went into his body as I was trying to communicated with him. In the morning at about six I fainted. In the morning it was very cold so I awoke. I called out to Fanyana, Fanyana did not respond. I realized that he’d passed away. At about nine o’clock in the morning the police came. | Full Transcript | | 30:30 | Zando got a jail sentence for handling explosives. Until December 1990 his home was Robben Island. On Zando’s behalf Reggie Marobi recently made contact with Ephraim who is now a priest in Rustenburg. | Full Transcript | | 30:48 | Did he admit that he’d trapped you, saying that he wanted to train you and demonstrate to you how the arms work? // Yes he did admit. | Full Transcript | | 31:00 | Now that I hear he is a priest I’m trying to again reconcile. How … what is he preaching? To me it doesn’t make sense. I would have thought that especially given the fact that the country is reconciling now, the country is trying to say, let’s forget about the past. He knows the family. He knows my mom like his mom. Why doesn’t he come to my mom and say I’m sorry? // Really I won’t forget Mamasela, because he’s a big man. He could have at least shared ideas with these little boys, unlike doing this to them. | Full Transcript |
