a com[pletely lawless and unconstitutional police that is also heavily glued to the underworld!people have died in large numbers as i remember that in the early nineties there used to be a corpse/s coming out of a former satellite police station in small street mall.they were killed inside then pushed down the stairway and we are told he was trying to escape.plaintiffs are treated like defendants and if they complain they`re sent to the icu,institution or mortuary.

Even Stanza Bopape was known to have been arrested by police – if my memory serves me correct.

There were death squads true. But most people were either killed in riots like Soweto 76, or in ANC Inkatha clashes in the 90′s.

In all the TRC claimed there were 24,000 deaths on all sides from 48 to 93. That figure is too low. But by only by a couple of thousand.

I must admit that i’m not sure whether the numbers of people killed during the struggle against apartheid are correct, because the apartheid regime changed its pattern from detaining activists to more often letting people “disappear” – so there is a unknown number of people whos fate is unknown until today.

But the current numbers and incedents are a big scandal for a nation that could have been a role model for successful transition from autocratic rule to peaceful democracy.

Its obvious that the demands of the majority of people hasnt been met yet.
