ABSTRACT
After forty-five years of apartheid in South Africa, and thirty-odd years of some level of armed resistance against the apartheid state by the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC) and others, the country had suffered massacres, killings, torture, lengthy imprisonment of activists, and severe economic and social discrimination against its majority non-white population. The greatest number of deaths took place in the conflict between the ANC and the government-backed Inkatha Freedom Party, particularly in the eastern region of the country that is now KwaZulu-Natal.
