February 1963 - Inside Poqo - A dressmaker's dummy

February 1963 - Inside Poqo - A dressmaker's dummy lies bullet-riddled amongs burnt wreckage from Paarl battle. Poqo is a terrorist movement. It is composed, largely, of angry young men who were embittered and frustrated and became desperate and lawless. And even when all the dreadful rituals of eye-gouging, throat-cutting and head-hacking are listed, the shocking truth about Poqo is that many, although not all, of its followers probably started out in life as decent, ordinary human beings - no worse and no better than the rest of the people of South Africa.
