South Africa's Killing Ground

9th May 1990 Season 9 Episode 5

Three thousand people have been killed in the Natal province of South Africa during the last three years in a bitter struggle for black political power. The fighting between the African National Congress and Inkatha, Chief Buthelezi's political organisation, threatens to destroy any prospect of peaceful change in South Africa. Using the emotional testimony of people caught up in the conflict, this film reveals a systematic campaign of violence by Inkatha, supported by the South African police.

Beyond Reasonable Doubt

The Broadwater Farm riots and the murder of PC Keith Blakelock in October 1985 led to a ten-week trial and life sentence for three young men - Engin Raghip , Mark Braithwaite and Winston Silcott. All three convictions were based on uncorroborated confessions obtained by the police in the absence of solicitors. There were no witnesses and no forensic evidence. Charles Wheeler examines the murder investigation and the ensuing trial, and questions whether any of the three should have been convicted.
