In South African history, the dramatic afternoon of the 15 November, 1988 is remembered as the day that twenty-three year-old Barend Hendrik Strydom went on a shooting spree which left 8 dead and over a dozen injured in the centre of Pretoria. The Strijdom Square massacre was witnessed by a 17 year old school boy, Bradley Steyn, who was walking to meet his mother at the State Theatre. The event, which left Steyn with PTSD, is one of the key events remembered in his book: Undercover with Mandela's Spies- the boy who crossed the square.
Steyn was later recruited by the underground ANC's Department of Intelligence and Security but now lives and works in California. He joins us to chat more about his book.
