limpopo families seek justice 40 years after apartheid executions

The families of two anti-apartheid activists from Ga-Maupa village outside Giyani in Limpopo are calling for justice, nearly four decades after their loved ones were executed by the apartheid government.

Alex Matsepane and Solomon Mawasha, who were members of the United Democratic Front UDF, were hanged at Pretoria Central Prison, now known as Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre, in 1986 and were given paupers burials.

They had been convicted of leading a protest against the imposition of tribal authorities.
