At the beginning of 1985 the Eastern Cape was on fire. Mass meetings, marches and boycotts had resulted in a partial state of emergency. Dozens were detained as the state tried to quell the growing defiance. Three weeks before the declaration of a national state of emergency in July the burnt and mutilated bodies of Cradock High School principle Matthew Goniwe and three comrades were found in a deserted beach area outside Port Elizabeth. Police said circumstances surrounding their deaths were unclear.
