Technology has helped uncover an apartheid secret and bring closure to the family of the “Mamelodi 10”, teenagers who were abducted and killed on June 26 1986.
In the 1980s, several activists were detained, tortured and killed, far away from their homes – then their bodies were blown apart by explosives or burnt. Their devastated families have finally been given some closure.
The National Prosecuting Authority’s Missing Persons Task Team will on Friday conduct a public exhumation of the body of an ANC activist James Booi, who died in 1966 in the Free State.
Water from the ANC political activist's grave could not deter a forensic expert team from recovering James Booi's remains.
The family of political prisoner James Booi heard that he died in 1996 but they had no idea where he was buried. The NPA Missing Persons Task Team believes his remains are in a pauper’s grave in Sasolburg.
