SA’s secret massacre Durban - In a book called Bloody Sunday, KZN-born academic and author has brought to light a lesser-known apartheid massacre that was more deadly than Sharpeville, and occured eight years earlier. Between 80 and 200 people are believed to have been killed by police that day, after a meeting organised by the African National Congress Youth League. Two white people, including a Roman Catholic nun, were killed by mobs in retaliation. Yet few people know what happened, says author Mignonne Breier. Mignonne Breier’s newly released book Bloody Sunday exposes some of South Africa’s hidden history. “It has not become part of the national discourse,” she told the Independent on Saturday in a telephone interview from Cape Town, where she is based at UCT.
