March 21st, Sharpeville day,

the Gultung Internal Stability unit is about
to be deployed into three Eastern Townships.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.999
And the UN uh… have… have listed which…

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.999
This thing is big. It’s bigger than
anything we have it under for.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.999
Two major rallies one IFP, one ANC on
Sharpsville day four kilometers apart,

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.999
it’s big. Just to get the agreement
together should unprecedented way

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.999
to go through 17 different meetings of four days
at a local and regional level better get buses,

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.999
cars, taxis. You printed flags. We’ve
got are these stickers together.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.999
You know, I mean, we’ve done as much
as… as we can. Now it comes down

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:10.000
to my appearance in the security force.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.000
[non-English narration]

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.999
People have learnt to fight for everything,

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.999
you know, to close them said
that they should fight,

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.999
to eat they should fight, to work we should fight, to
live in the house they should fight. You know, it’s…

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.999
it’s within them because of
the system that we believe.

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.999
Now eventually a person fights for
everything. You know, you see the black.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.999
I’m worried, you know, about that trouble

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.999
and one can expect it when two organizations
which are rivals are actually

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.999
going to meet, you know,

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.999
having incidents on the same day, but we just
hope for the best. You know, we hope that.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.999
No incidents.

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.999
I’m just a housewife, an ordinary
housewife. I would just say,

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.999
I think, I’m too much loving, you know,

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.999
and at the same time I’m… I’m very much possessive.
You know, I’m possessive for everything.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.999
My people think that I’ve got, you know,

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.999
I’m like that and I like working a
lot for the community. You know,

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
it’s just in me uh… just by myself
reacting to things, you know,

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
I kind of just passing thus reducing anything happening without asking what is happening, they…
they be… I’m curious, you know, (inaudible). No, you are stopping now, you now coming with me.

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
No, no.

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
They should be ANC, ASP, ANC, AA.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.999
I’m… I’m with John and… and…
and the gentleman there.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.999
They for the first time, peace monitors
from the Inkatha Freedom Party

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
team up to protect the peace in the three
townships. Some teams of patrol cars,

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
others were monitor points
of potential conflict.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
That’s Huntersfield Stadium with NCR holding, they start their rally. This
over here is the possible Stadium where Chief Minister (inaudible) speaking.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.999
The route in orange

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.999
over there are the IFP routes
that we’ve worked on. Okay.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
The routes in green all over here are
the ANC routes that we’ve worked on.

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.999
These circles are what we’ve seen in… in conjunction
with the parties themselves and the security forces

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
as being the areas with the most potential trouble
could occur, we’ve… we’ve got permanent monitors.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.999
And in each monitor, it’ll be 2 NC people
2 IP people with them to integrated.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
Gertrude, an Inkatha monitor

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
is teamed up with Alfred from the
ANC for the day. Confident on you…

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
[sil.]

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.999
If this day is successful,
it’s just going to be a symbol

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.999
that we can make it, I mean, piece.
And if it fails?

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
It means that we will be failing to make peace,
but we will have to go on until we get it

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.999
because we want it. But I’ve seen some
signals that we didn’t have peace,

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.999
you know, for a person like, Alfred
wouldn’t went from (inaudible),

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.999
we have not been talking to any other for quite
a long time. But today he’s so friendly,

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.999
and I’m so friendly, I even
left all my stuff in his car.

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.999
And he brought me something to eat so that’s
a signal that is going to be peace today.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
Hi. Hi.

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.999
[sil.]

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.999
So I was one of those
people who were victimized.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.999
My house was destroyed by fire. And my property was looted. And
my vehicles were set alight. So I don’t want anyone to experience

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.999
that what I have experienced. So that
is why I engaged myself in the peace.

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:33.000
[sil.]

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
While ANC supporters begin to
merge the stadium in Katlehong,

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
hostel dwellers are supporting Gertrude, cross
rival territory, and their way to reinforce wards.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.999

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:33.000

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.999

Since of solids change a lot,

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.999

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
now there’s more control over the group, much more, I mean, they,
they draw there much more order listen to their own people.

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
Okay. Then listen to us, you know,

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
Well, they’re people

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:38.000
[sil.]

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
Monitors that there’s a body in Holomisa. There’s one body in
Holomisa. They don’t know what it’s related to, but we can through…

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
through the night but a crowd is gathering there so you should
try and get out there fast to see if anything’s happening.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.999
[sil.]

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
Can we have somebody who
will take or call me to take

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
Are you serious? Yes. It take, how

And then which way they wanna go? The same route. Same
route. Because now we are now try to… We’ll take you there.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
Yeah, we cannot go back, follow the same route as
been followed by before… So you can give two minutes…

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
I tell you what we need. We need
buses at the Matala hostel fast.

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
They got 2,000 people here. And I need buses
before they start moving on their own.

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
In fact, our supporters begin a March. It takes
them down a road that the peace agreement

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
designated as the ANC’s route.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.999
What are we doing here? Are we blocking the road? No, no,
no, no. For them to turn up to go down. They must go back.

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.999
They must go back. No, no, not back.
They should tell. I… I don’t what’s the…

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.999
Okay, this is not their route, you know,

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
they were supposed to go on that other way, you know. Okay, but
for now because there’s nobody’s coming on this side, you know,

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.999
and there that group is so much, you know, we can’t just tell them here. I think, maybe you
gonna just make them ten, you know, and goes straight down there? Right, that’s really…

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:20.000
Okay.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.999
So what is he saying there the internal stability manager? (inaudible)
go there and check because I believe that major problem is created

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.999
but people became very
impatient (inaudible).

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.999
Hey, well, stay on here.

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.999
Uh… Actually there is the idea is
coming from that side to stop this,

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.999
but I don’t think that is quite. They all saying
that Inkatha is coming this side to stop them.

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.999
But I don’t think you be able to do that. No, there’s no stopping now. There’s no
stopping now. Let’s go through. Stop it now. They said their leader is coming from them.

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.999
There’s no stop… Let now, let them pass
through. They can never stop them.

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
Yeah. What is the problem now? I don’t know. Why… why do,
what they do is illegal. I don’t go even myself, I don’t go.

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
(inaudible). Peacefully they
want to go HF Stadium peaceful.

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.999
But… but the NCP become another way.
I don’t know. It is.

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.999
I… are they are down the way on their way.
Yeah, there. Okay.

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.999
Okay, you must run fast.
Three kilometers away

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.999
at the find of the road way bus
is loaded with ANC supporters.

00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:03.000
[sil.]

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.999
That’s the big.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:18.000
[non-English narration]

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.999
Gertrude, the Inkatha monitor
and ANC counterpart Alfred

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.999
arrive at the ANC buses.

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.999
The Inkatha marchers are
now only 100 meters away.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:45.000
[sil.]

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:13.000
[sil.]

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
Now the problem is outside. The problem is, the problem is we cannot meet
these people here. They say that this is their route and it was agreed.

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.999
Well, see, we can’t move them, we’ve tried. And this
is a must and stop them, Inkatha people has been,

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.999
they… they… they’ve been lost for a very long time, moving
around by foot. And this is not, does not to be use,

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.000
and, but that not if I would ask.

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.999
Wait, wait, wait, wait… Listen, we get a choice of the situation. We’re
not gonna get through it by fighting, we’re gonna solve it, okay?

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.999
Yeah, we don’t hit. We don’t hit. Right.

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.000
[sil.]

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.999
I think, those buses are…

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.999
[sil.]

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.999
The peace monitors have persuaded the ANC
supporters to take another route to their rally.

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:38.000
[sil.]

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.999
It wasn’t the question of
fairness or anything else,

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.999
it was question of practical necessity that the buses were an
easier way of getting people at the area to avoid a confrontation

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.999
which is what we accomplished and we are great full to… to the NCA
for… for… for getting their people inside the bus and around.

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.999
They were taken around the other way with
the (inaudible) in Huntersfield Stadium.

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
Was that a, just was that
an example of good monitor?

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
You’re talking good monitor, (inaudible) it’s not much. But good
question, where you keep that? There was question of big getting.

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.999
But it seems good. Uh… I think, everybody
hope, it was a question of having

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.999
what… what we wanted what was senior NC people
and senior IFP people in the different crowds,

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.999
and that was what we wanted because it’s ultimately is they might have
to strike these agreements. It’s very difficult to talk to whole crowd

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
particularly is emotion immediate. And I
think that in terms of their planning,

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.999
in terms of the… the original agreement of having our senior people
around, I think, that was that’s… that’s a, that’s held out.

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.999
What should be happen if they
ready to meet? You were there.

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
[sil.]

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
Umm… Or yourself? You
just want to be yourself?

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
they have a party. They get
carried away sometimes.

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.999
Okay, watch today’s well

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.999
You still scared? Yeah.

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.999
What scare you?

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.999
When they start shooting at you, that scares me. Well,
when I start today when you, when you standing in a line

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.999
and here comes this big group 2,000
marchers marching up to you.

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.999
And now they’re coming towards you,
coming toward you, coming towards you.

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.999
Now you’ve got to stop them vacuum or from going along they
tried, they must go this way. Now that’s pretty scary.

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.999
[sil.]

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.999
When it begins to rain, both
ANC, Inkatha rallies break up,

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.999
again Inkatha supporters take the
most direct but wrong route.

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.999
It leads them towards the
crossroads on with some

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.999
3,000 ANC March as a converging.

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.999
Left, left, you got to go left. No hanging around
here whatsoever. Yeah. No, no debate with him.

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.999
Yeah. I think you must get down there. They must
be sure about something get you going left there.

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.999
Yeah, left quickly here before this, before this group… We’re gonna
delay this group route. Oh, yeah. Well, troop station here, yeah.

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.999
Okay. You create around there.
Up and down. You’re right.

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.999
The Inkatha marchers want to
continue down the same road

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.999
along which the ANC is
approaching, they are turned back.

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.999
[sil.]

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:13.000
[non-English narration]

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:23.000
[sil.] (inaudible).

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.999
The front? Yeah. I’m leaving.

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.999
David.

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.999
[sil.]

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:53.000
[non-English narration]

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.999
Okay, so if you… you leave here, (inaudible) I told
them to start ask… actually seen people to be breath.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.999
Hold on. But I think if we need… Okay.

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
[non-English narration]

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:48.000
[sil.]

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.999
In the beginning I felt very hopeful.

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.999
I thought things would go right, but
things didn’t go as they were planned.

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.999
Because of the transport and people desired to not
to use the bus or they violated the agreement,

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.999
they went through the route
which was not agreed.

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.999
It was not fun. It was not fun.
There was no fun in it

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.999
because I’ve been working
hard and sweating.

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:30.000
[music]

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:48.000
[music]

00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:03.000
We have to forgive. You know, we are
Christians, we have to forgive.

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
And for the amount of people
we had from Inkatha, from ANC.

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.999
It worked up pretty well with that. There
was a lot of planning that went into it.

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.999
And for… for just at one… one incident, the way
there were 80 meters away from each other.

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.999
I mean, I don’t know what would
happen if we weren’t there.

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.999
Okay, but I think they… they can
look at today as being a success.

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.999
We did have this from (inaudible)

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
I think none of the marshals and other
bodies did this from the (inaudible).

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
Uh… I don’t know how you judge a
successful. Well, it wasn’t a success.

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
Umm… What would have happened
if we weren’t there?

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
Uh… What happened because
we were but I know…

00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:00.000
That’s over.
