Like so many of the landmarks along our long walk to
freedom, September 7th 1992 does not mark a happy occasion. It was day on which
the political and social forces striving to give birth to a democratic South
Africa, clashed head-on with the joint forces of reaction represented by the
tin-pot military strongman, Brigadier Oupa Gqozo and the die-hards of the
apartheid regime. Twenty-eight people were mowed down in a desperate act of
repression.
