Sharpeville - How it began

Five Months Nightmare - Sharpeville how it began. After the people's protest; after the Sharpeville killings; after 20 000 people had been detained; the goverment closed another in our countries history. There was to be no change. Apartheid and baaskap was here to stay. Like a ghastly dream: but this had really happened. The scene after the shooting. Dead and wounded litter the ground. Africans and police carry away the bodies in sacks
