, was gunned down by US police. Angelo Louw, who recently handed his grandfather’s archive over to the Trevor Huddleston Memorial Centre in Sophiatown, reflects on a time when communities worked with the police for protection, and weren’t terrorised by them.
By Angelo C Louw

My cousins all attended school in Bosmont, and would always tell me how their teachers would threaten to call Sgt Louw (as he was affectionately known) whenever their classes got unruly. It always astounded me how much respect everyone around had for him, and that he seemed to be just as much a pillar to an entire community as he was to our family.
