Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi l June 1992 Boipatong massacre survivors speak out

Some of the survivors of the June 1992 Boipatong massacre in the Vaal in Gauteng have expressed mixed feelings following the passing of former IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi.
Some Boipatong survivors say Buthelezi decided to take the truth of the Boipatong incident to the grave.
Local IFP hostel dwellers who were IFP members and supporters in conjunction with apartheid security forces were accused of orchestrating the massacre that left 45 people dead.
To get an update we cross live to our reporter Canny Maphanga SABC News reporter.

MAY YOU UNCLE'S SOUL REST IN PEACE, BUT NOT THIS BUTHELEZI! THIS MAN WAS A PROVEN APARTHEID ALLIE AND MAN WHO ORDERED THE KILLINGS. NEITHER HIM NOR IFP REGRETED THEIR ACTIONS. WHAT A WONDERFUL FUNERAL CERIMONY HE IS HAVING. DID EITHER IFP/BUTHELEZI, GOVERNMENT OR ANC, AT LEAST ORGANIZE A CERIMONY TO HONOUR THOSE KILLED COUNTRYWIDE? DID THEY PROVIDE ANY HELP (SOCIAL, SCHOOLARSHIPS, ETC.) FOR THE WIDOWS AND CHILDREN OF THOSE KILLED? THE ANSWER IS: NO.

What was the objective of forming the Ifp because they weren't freedom fighters and they weren't an opposition to the National party hence there was none of them who were banned or sent to Robben Island

[@sandilemntungwa1538]

Let me give an answer, IFP was formed not as a political party but as a cultural revolution.Then Anc leader which was Oliver Tambo with the late Zambian president KK Kaunda are the one who told Buthelezi to form IFP as the right wing of the Anc but things changed after 1978

[@Sky-dv8mj]

Zulus are so cruel, see how they kill each other even now hence all bad weather is only happening there. They only see themselves alone as humans, that's the honest truth. So so selfish and self centered, all the Nguni's need to be cleansed. The history tells us that they are from same father and the same mother but they have so much hate for one another and this Mangoes dead man is the one who devided their nation
