South Africa commemorates its freedom during the month of April. This is a month when the country celebrates the dawn of freedom on 27th April. This freedom however, did not come on a silver plate! Thousands of black people, who were the majority, died in the fight against the white oppressive regime, when the majority was seen as inferior to the white supremacists. One of the incidents that happened, and one which is associated with this month, is Solomon Mahlangu’s execution on 06th April 1979. He joined the South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) party in September 1976, and left the country to be trained as an Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) “The Spear of the Nation” soldier. Channel Africa talks to George Lucky Mahlangu, Solomon Mahlangu’s companion on this fateful day when the three were accosted by police.
