The first wave of horror came in May 1986. Over three days the ‘fathers,’ or witdoeke systematically burned three satellite squatter camps around Crossroads to the ground. The security forces then stepped in. They encircled the area with barbed wire to prevent the 30 000 left homeless by the attack from reoccupying the land. Lukhanyiso Finye and Vuyani Dyaboza were two of the 38 people left dead in the wake of the destruction. The young men and four friends were on their way to a Saturday night party when they were stopped by a witdoek barricade, abducted and killed. Their parents found them in a mortuary.
