Special Report Transcript Episode 43, Section 3, Time 05:56It was the late 1980s and in the burning townships the battle lines had been drawn: you’re ally or enemy. In this culture the young lions ruled the terrain, you displayed your colours clearly, or the impimpi tag would decide your fate, often a horrific one. As were the Masupa family in Daveyton, whose house was burnt to ashes after comrades decided that one member, Hendrik Masupa was an informer. Four inhabitants burnt to death and four others were injured. Phinias Ndlovu who has spent time on death row for these killings is now asking for amnesty for what he argues was politically motivated murder. Notes: Max du Preez JOHANNESBURG
