It has been 40 years since anti-apartheid activists Topsy Madaka and Siphiwo Mthimkhulu were tortured to death by apartheid police on a Cradock farm. | MaliDayimani
Now, four decades later, their families are tired of waiting for justice that never came, outraged and angry that the killers of their murdered relatives still walk free.
The remains were located thanks to the findings of the Desmond Tutu-chaired Truth Reconciliation Commission, said Mthimkhulu's younger sister Nozibele Mthimkhulu, 54. The two activists were known as the Cosas 2.READ Topsy Madaka worked at Old Mutual in Gqeberha and was a shop steward of the General Workers Union of South Africa .
Amandlangawethu told News24 on Thursday that the apartheid police killed his father and abandoned his empty car at the border gates with doors wide open, to create the impression that he had fled the police to the neighbouring Lesotho. We are planning to take legal action because the government is failing us, they never cared to ask whether we needed anything. They are simply continuing where the apartheid government left off.
