Special Report Transcript Episode 38, Section 5, Time 14:42

At the funeral for the activists Maki Skosana was identified as an informer and we witnessed for the first time the harrowing results on national television. The Truth Commission heard in Duduza this year that Maki was an innocent victim. // After Maki’s funeral there were also rumours that were circulating that they had killed the wrong person. They were supposed to have killed another Maki that is my neighbour. // Maki and her family have emerged after all these disclosures as heroes. Who have witnessed this testimony are witnesses of how noble Maki was and I will without shame request this house to stand and observe a moment of silence. Can we all rise?
