families anticipate emotional third day of the cradock four inquest

The third day of the reopened Cradock Four inquest continues today, with the Gqeberha High Court expected to visit the site where the torched vehicle and bodies of the four were discovered at Blue Water Bay in Gqeberha.

The anti-apartheid activists, Matthew Goniwe , Fort Calata, Sparrow Mkhonto and Sicelo Mhlauli known as the Cradock Four , are believed to have been killed by the apartheid security branch while leaving Gqeberha in 1985.

Todays inspection is expected to be especially emotional for the families, many of whom have never visited the sites where their loved ones were found.

Matthew Goniwes son, Nyaniso, says he is anxious about what lies ahead.

Ive never been to the sites actually, so it will be a new thing for me but thankfully as I said theres a support system, we are all here together, all the Cradock Four families. So, yes, Im very nervous as Im sure is everyone else. I dont know what to expect. I dont think any of the guys, any of the family members, the widows of the kids have been there, so Im sure its going to be a very emotional time.
