Charity Kondile with a portrait of her son at graduation, Transkei, 1997. Charity's son, Sizwe Kondile, was murdered in 1981 on the orders of Dirk Coetzee. She spent 9 years trying to find out what had happened to her son. In 1996 she attended the amnesty hearings in Durban where in Coetzee's presence she heard how her son was illegaly detained by police, beaten during interrogation, poisoned, shot and burned on a braai. According to Coetzee, the police had been scared they might have a 'second Biko' case on their hands. Photographer: Jillian Edelstein/UCT Photography Collection

A Provincial Commissioner will not risk his job, credibility and life by calling a Press conference to talk about allegations of corruption within government, the SAPS, members of parliament and the mafia-like operations that are taking place at the expense of South Africans just for show. Those who are more concerned about the protocols to follow to utter such concerns, those who are concerned about the optics of going public, those who are calling for the suspension of General Mkhwanazi instead of the information made public, that is who we need to be concerned about. No man or woman in their right mind would risk their lives going public like that. The lid of the Real South Africa has been lifted.
