In 1992 a group of heavily armed IFP alligned hostel dwellers swept through the township of Boipatong, killing, shooting and burning indiscriminately. When the killing spree was over, 45 innocent people lay dead and many others were maimed for life. Those responsible were in due course apprehended and locked up, but received amnesty from the TRC a few years later. SABC tracks down three of the Boipatong killers who have painful memories of the atrocities they performed. Powerful footage shows the killers introduced to a twelve year old girl, paralysed from the waist down. On the night of June 17 1992, someone drove a panga into her head and killed her father. Despite her pain, she is prepared to meet the men whose actions changed their lives, but is she prepared to forgive? An emotive story of reconciliation and forgiveness.

SABC - Ref. 1071
I think this part of history should be included in our school curriculums whether through plays, literature or commemorations. Otherwise history will repeat itself. Let our children feel the pain of these victims and the motives of the perpetrators so they can learn not to let it happen again. I say this cause I feel the next civil unrest wont be much about tribes but about the intolerance that we South Africans have against foreigners and other races. With the economic and political situation and the devisions that social media is creating in this country right now it will be easy and it is a matter of time before a radical leader mobilises one of theirs for selfish reasons and history repeats itself. The Durban Riots in 2021 and Phoenix massacre , #putsouthafricafirst and #operationdudula movements are just a highlight of what could potentially happen
They don't deserve forgiveness.
How can you murder people and think that you will live in peace
They were used, no wonder they struggle today and their ifp is doing nothing for them
Who told you that they are struggling?
@@sandilemntungwa1538so you rejoice and gloat over deaths of innocent people
@@sandilemntungwa1538they look so poor,lost in violence,they look violent from their faces.
So. Thy weren't supposed to fight back? Did u c the operations on tht guys body?
The story is the same everywhere:
1. FIRST, the ANC attacks opponents in townships and those who are IFP or Zulu end up in hostels or in silence.
2. Then eventually hostels REACT.
Same story in Kagiso, Thokoza, Katlehong, Mooi River, Umlazi, everywhere; therefore teh ANC is yet to account for it is they who started all this.
Inganekwane 😂
No the ANC were defending the community.. This men were going to finish the whole township
The IFP were attacking anc,so they had to defend themselves.
Stop trying to rewrite history
This one is talking nonsense...trying so hard to rewrite history...chief relax, you cant.
The beautiful little girl lost an ability to walk on her own and cannot forgive those responsible for it and the death of his father. That is understable. Looking in from the different angle,I would like to salute those three for reaching out,to the victims,having been victims of the same themselves extending their hands asking for forgiveness. People of KwaMadala had also suffered as much as did those of Boipatong. This was tragic.(2023.09.16-21:21-socalled South Africa)
They are not serious
Well said they also escaped death some were not fortunate they were kidnapped, burned alive by those who were attacking them from the township unfortunately they revenged on the innocent people who probably had no hand in their attacks this shall never ever happen again all lives matter
This is so painful to watch, yho😢. I mean good Lord, how do you even forgive someone who has left you with such a life changing scar? These people changed the lives of the victims DRASTICALLY! I'm sorry, but they deserve to be in Jail for the rest of their lives! 😔
I am zulu but this is bullshit look at a shameless child 🙏😭😭😭😭
Kwakufanele benzenjani umabehlaselwa?
@brianluthuli4662 God loves you're truth heart brother
Why are they still denying the police involvement?
I remember watching those three gentlemen give accounts of what led to that massacre and that the decision to go out there to fight ,in retaliation,was something they planned and did on their own with no police involvement. One of those three,identified as Mr Khanyile,told the TRC that he did not see the police amongst them.(2023.09.16-21:33-socalled South Africa)
Sellouts, how could you do this killing your own brothers and sisters in the midst of apartheid. Damn.
They were real sellouts who were bought and we know which tribe they are
The both of you clearly don't know what you are talking. Seek information first
@@gdewyg what tribe are they? Thanks
Zulu People like mkhizes are the nkabis of today shooting people
@@gdewygIt's ok to say they were sell out. But i don't know what the mentioning of tribe has to do with it. But if it is what i suspect you mean please keep in mind that the IFP killed more Zulus in KZN townships than Sothos anywhere. So. "Ignorance is the absence of knowledge. Stupidity is the presence of knowledge and the refusal to use it."
Damn. How do you kill children in the name of politics
Same way shonas k*ll*d 20 000 ndebeles
@@celimpilo8487 🙄🙄
This is cowardly.. we can't be led by people like this..
These men feel nothing besides entitlement to forgiveness. They wasted the victim’s time
These Men if they truly want forgiveness they must speak the truth all of it. who gave the weapons?under whose instructions they did what they did?
How could MANGOSUTU claim innocence from this cold bloodied massacre?? Attacking innocent civilians?? It's unthinkable. They set off from the hostel to kill. Mangosutu should take responsibility.
You couldn’t see scars they have? ANC must tell truth. They started with Azapo leaders killed them, even people who were in robbed island as political prisoners were killed by ANC because they wanted to be the only party that represent black voters. They did the same with IFP, to the point they said enough is enough. Learn about “People’s war” ANC strategies they learned in Vietnam in late 1970s.
This is the absolute honest truth my brother! Amen! I pray this truth is revealed. Amen
Did u listen to the whole thing? Or u just don't wanna know what happened?
This is nonsense...they should have never visited the home.... it's disgusting 😔
This man is / was responsible for the killings
These IFP supporters were cowards
This is painful
“Ncono zife zidonsile” unjaloke uZulu akahlehli. ANC propaganda made it as if Boipatong was a one day event, but it was a series of events where IFP members or just a Zulu speaking people were constantly asked from the 1990, one day they said enough is enough.
This is the truth ! I hope it's revealed someday..amen
Never again
Tribal war fare, it’s been happening since the beginning of time. And it’s gonna keep on happening. Just look how South African St. refugees from Rhodesia and Mozambique.
Theres so sign of regrets here
True.l can sense arrogance in the voices.
Why regret because they themselves said it was along overdue people of Baipotong were abusing them for the long time
23 million.
They would never get forgiveness from me. They would have met thwir ancestors soon after release. Ngumnqundu lowo. Ixolo bayolikha emthini wase sihogweni.
Wawuyofa nje akukho okunye , phela that time sasingekho isikhathi
I don't mean to tribalist, I like Zulu people a lot ,I am from EC and Xhosa but I never understood why it's so easy for our Zulu brothers to kill one another or other black people, I find it strange , Izinkabi came from KZN , taxi killing started in KZN , political killings only happen in KZN, WHY , I mean all of these happen to our own black bros, how can you even kill parents in front of their children. This hasn't stopped 😢
So no killing in eastern cape , no Izinkabi in eastern cape? Meaning it's only KZN people who is dying in this case
Uyanya wena. What is happening eMkhondo? Iphoyisa lesifazane elibulale amalunga omndeni for imali yomshwalense liseKZN nalo?
Mancoba church 7 angels of death nayo iseKZN?
These things are happening in eastern cape and ither parts of the country , but it all started from KZN , lets face reality bakithi , I don't know why it's so easy to kill from that side, I mean counsilours that are killed are from KZN , very few from other parts of the country , I gues we all the same though, African people need rehabilitation , white in RSA hardly ever raped each other or kill each other its only us black people, we are a cursed nation tjoo
💔💔💔💔
Ibuhlungu lento 💔😭😭
Look in their eyes there clueless
Kwakuliwa ayikho into eyayizokwenziwa rip shenge
Izinkabi
You mean impi
Zulu people 😢
Ubuthelez wababulalisa abantu
Ukhuluma ngani konje?
It was a war,Anc killed and also Ifp killed
How do you justify killing children?
@@vumilemasiza3108 I'm just telling stating the facts ,sometimes truth must be told we lost our relatives because of the Anc burning people so both parties were fighting and it was wrong.
