Special Report Transcript Episode 34, Section 6, Time 20:32

We end tonight’s programme with accounts of the deaths of two young women. Maki Skosana was wrongfully identified as a police informer in July 1985. Her gruesome death at the hands of a frenzied mob had a profound effect on the national psyche, as it was the first necklacing seen on national television. Her sister brought her grief to the Truth Commission this week.
