Rape, murder and mass arrests - Flo Masebe's Twitter thread highlights apartheid atrocities

She took to Twitter to share threads that highlighted the crimes and injustice to which black people were subjected during apartheid, focusing specifically on the state of emergency in the 1980s.

Scores of people observed the 30th anniversary since former president FW de Klerk lifted the ban on black-led political parties, announced the commencement of power transfer negotiations and called for the release of political prisoners in February 1990. Are you old enough to remember the State of Emergency we had in South Africa in the 1980s?Curfews and teens being detained... Some who go missing and you don't know whether they've fled into exile or have been killed by the security police.I remember there was chaos in my hood parents running teargas all over they hid me in a coal steel tank n ran ??I could hear boots ? passing ...I was like 5 or 6The thing is black people are still struggling to date.
