Gugulethu 7 Memorial

This guide to the Gugulethu 7 Memorial covers a group of young anti-apartheid activists in Gugulethu who spent two months in 1986 training with two men they believed were fellow comrades. It follows what those two men were really doing, and the third of March, when one of them drove the seven, ages sixteen to twenty-three, to this street corner in a stolen bakery van for what he told them was an attack on a police vehicle. You'll hear what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission later revealed about who was really waiting for them. The seven granite figures around this corner each carve a name into that morning.
