TRC Episode 05, Part 01

or 14 years the mother has waited for this day. To tell the world of the policeman who had tortured her son before he finally disappeared. This morning, Elizabeth Mtimkulu is going to the Truth Commission. // I am thanking God that this day has come. That's what kept me ... // She and her husband Sipho are armed with a set of diaries Siphiwo Mtimkulu wrote in detention. It tells the story of a gang of Eastern Cape security policemen who savaged and brutalised the young man. // Although he is dead he can still talk. He is talking now. I'm glad about that.
