  • The Durban strikes of 1973 filmed by the cameras from Thames Televisons 'This Week' programme. Mainly black South African's working at the Coronation brick and tile factory went out on strike to try and get an increase in their already pitiful wage shaking the political establishment when the strkes started to spread.
    First shown: 15/03/1973

    The strikes started things rolling. The students, NUSAS and especially SASO, were key, behind the scenes, organisers. Just 3 years later was the general uprising of 1976 (aka the Soweto uprising) against Bantu education.
    Many of that generation were forced into exile and joined the (real!) MK. 10 years on, 1983, saw the formation of the UDF and real opposition to apartheid inside the country.

He requested Richard's Bay which the Nats/fascists didn't want to part with as Rio Tinto's tax revenue was the highest in province. He declined after that. All areas that had Zulus who were significant affiliated to the ANC ended up in bloody Civil War. Ixopo, Richmond, Umgababa, the hostels and townships in the PWV etc. I have a lot of admiration for him because I was born in his reign, he is extremely, powerful, intelligent and charming but greed got in the way which led to the death of thousands.
