Phinias Ndlovu was fifteen years old when he joined the struggle. He and his fellow comrades, consumed by the call to create a people’s war organized protest marches, stay-aways, school boycotts. But part of their fight for freedom meant turning on those they saw as collaborating with the system they were fighting. People’s courts and necklacing became a shameful part of the cause of the comrades. In July 1987 Phinias and five other members of the Daveyton Youth Congress burned down the Masupa family home, because they thought that one of its members, Hendrik Masupa was an informer.
