Special Report Transcript Episode 4, Section 7, Time 26:43

Anti-apartheid activist and ANC lawyer Griffiths Mxenge. On the 19th of November 1991, his body was found on this sports field in Umlazi near Durban. He had 45 stab wounds, his throat was slit and his ear severed. The murder of Griffiths Mxenge became one of the most notorious political assassinations ever. His family has always maintained he was killed by the South African Police. // My brother was an intelligent man, who made sure that he does not break the law. He was furthering, you know his political objectives. He was doing a lot of work with the ANC, he was helping the ANC; you know people who wanted to leave the country. I mean that is no crime as far as I am concerned. He didn’t deserve to die for that; they could have prosecuted him.
