From www.saha.org.za : The 25th anniversary of the death of the Cradock Four on 27 June 2010 has been commemorated with the launch of the long-anticipated film by South African documentary-maker David Forbes at Museum Afrika in Newtown, Johannesburg. The film had been in production for seven years, and much time was spent accessing transcripts of amnesty hearings related to the case, as well as all copies of documents submitted during the trial. SAHA assisted David Forbes in defying the Department of Justice (DoJ) in their refusal to make this material accessible; on the day of a hearing set to take place in the Pretoria Supreme High Court, the DoJ relented, and an out-of-court settlement was reached, granting SAHA full access to all requested records.

Nyameka Goniwe is the Director of the Community Healing Project at the Masizame Centre in Lingelihle, the Cradock township where her husband Matthew Goniwe lived and worked. The Project aims to bring healing to the people of Lingelihle, still traumatized by the loss of their community leaders during the apartheid times, and to bring integration between the black, white and coloured communites of Cradock, still culturally, geographically and economically separated even in the new South Africa of today. The programme has been funded by a grant from the Charles Stuart Mott Foundation , and also by the generous support of the Matthew Goniwe School of Leadership and Governance. |
