The Cradock Murders (52min), Germany

Late on the winter night of 27 June 1985, South Africa's Security Forces set up a roadblock
near Port Elizabeth in the eastern Cape Province. Four anti-Apartheid activists, including
their leader, Matthew Goniwe, a popular teacher from the small town of Cradock, were in the
ambushed car. They had been secretly targeted for political assassination. The film allows the viewer to perceive the oppressive climate of the sombre racist regime in the seventies and early eighties. The assassinations signalled the 'Beginning of the End' of this racist Apartheid regime, and
paved the way for the election of Nelson Mandela as South Africa's first democratic president
in 1994.
