Scope and content

In 1992 the Boipatong massacre was allegedly launched from the Kwamadala hostel. Forty-five people were killed and twenty-two severely injured. Boipatong was established in 1955 to house workers from nearby industries in the Vaal Triangle and the Kwamadala hostel lies across the highway from this township. This area experienced high political tension in the early 1990s between ANC and IFP supporters. These interviews focus on memories of the 1992 Kwamadala hostel dwellers’ massacre in the Boipatong. Themes include: ANC; build up to the events; history of political tension amongst residents; IFP; memories of the events; police collusion; political factions; TRC.
