It was 30 years ago on this day when around 40 people were killed in what has gone down the annals of history as the Boipatong Massacre.

The massacre nearly collapsed the CODESA talks with the African National Congress abandoning the negotiations after accusing the FW De Klerk government of being complicit in the killings.

Thirty-three-year-old, Mita Molete was only three years old when she witnessed her father dragged outside and shot to death multiple times. At the time, the apartheid government labelled the massacre as Black-on-Black violence, but for the victims it was the machination of the apartheid regime.
