Summary
This three part South African television series, extremely controversial upon its initial airing, is set in the tense days of inter-ethnic violence before South Africa's first free elections. In the first episode, the viewer is introduced to Bongani and Mpho, two young African National Congress 'comrades' and lovers from Soweto. Bongani is the sole witness to a train massacre by Duma, a militant with the Zulu-supported Inkatha Freedom Party and the couple is forced to take refuge in his uncle's apartment in Johannesburg. When the block's new owner, a black real estate speculator, raises the rent, Bongani organizes a rent strike.
