Reggie Hadebe was meant to be a survivor. In the 1970s when most avenues of protest were closed he was a rising star in Inkatha. By the time the UDF began pushing against apartheid in the 1980s, he was again prominent. When Nelson Mandela walked out of prison Reggie Hadebe was the ANC’s deputy chairman in the troubled Natal Midlands and working hard to end the civil war. He never made it. Police say it took three snipers to finally kill him. More than a 100 guns taken in raids have been tested. The guns have vanished and so have the killers, for now. Because, as Christina Scot explains, there are at least three people determined to find the assassins: Reggie’s widow Sibongile, Reggie’s friend John Jeffries who was there when he died and a man who has never met Reggie Hadebe, detective inspector Lionel Groenewald.
