MOTSHEPE, Tamporo James

Age 27

Description
An ANC supporter who was severely beaten with rifle butts and sjambokked by members of the SADF 32 Battalion in his shack in Phola Park, Tokoza, Tvl, on 8 April 1992. Mr Motshepe was one of more than 100 Phola Park residents, including women and teenagers, who were assaulted by members of 32 Battalion after a member of the SADF was shot and injured in the area. Two women were shot dead and at least four raped during the raid. An investigation by Justice Goldstone concluded that the soldiers acted in a manner `completely inconsistent with the function of a peacekeeping force` and recommended they be removed from the townships.
