Abstract:The 1984-1985 countrywide resistance plunged South Africa into its worst crisis since the Nationalists came to power 40 years ago and set about applying their apartheid policies. Not a single South African was left unaffected, directly or indirectly, by the violence as the country's black townships exploded in a rage unprecedented in the country's history. This volume of interpretive essays and documentation is a record of events during this period in Transvaal, the Eastern Cape, the Western Cape, Orange Free State and Natal. It is based on media reports, affadavits submitted to legal offices, and firsthand accounts.
