liberation in South Africa. Little of this uprising is contained in a published book written by the student leaders themselves.
This book is the first and does just that. The authors relate individual and collective accounts of their role as SRC leaders of Mosupatsela High School from March 1976 in the lead up to the June 16, 1976 uprising. This is the story of the uprising in Kagiso, Krugersdorp and the resulting detention of the authors in September of 1976.

“Bordergate caseâ€, Pennuel Maduna’s “Ongoye student protest case†and the seminal Harry
Gwala, “Pietermaritzburg caseâ€.
