- Synopsis
- This true account of the traumatised memory of the people of the townships of Vaal is a meticulously written, moving account of the groundbreaking events that dramatically accelerated the downfall of apartheid. This book elucidates the Sharpeville Six Trial, the Delma Treason Trial, the 1984 uprising that led to international sanctions against South Africa, the first-ever invasions of the townships, as well as the Boipatong massacre. Very little credit has been given to the churches' role in the struggle against apartheid. It was church communities and ministers who encouraged, comforted and protected many people caught up in the conflict in the Vaal Triangle in the 1980s. Most of all the churches gave people in those townships hope.
