The month of August marks exactly 34 years of a painful episode in the history of the ANC in the Border region when 19 lives were brutally killed by the SA Defence and other security forces in Duncan Village, East London.The mass burial that followed heralded the dawn of a new era in the politics of the then Border region where the masses of our people organised themselves in solidarity with the people of Duncan Village.
It's for this reason that the expectations were high among us that August 11, if not whole month of August, would be made a special to commemorate the Duncan Village massacre. We continue to fail the importance of this day; hopefully something will be done about in the near future.
