Special Report Transcript Episode 34, Section 6, Time 20:32We 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. Notes: Max du Preez Was ‘necklaced’ and her body mutilated by named perpetrators on 20 July 1985 in Duduza, Nigel, Transvaal, after the funeral of four youth activists. She was accused of being a police informer. |
