Maki Skosana
Maki Skosana (died July 20, 1985) was a South African woman. She was killed by anti-apartheid activists who suspected her of being an informant. Her death by "necklacing" was filmed by South African media and became emblematic of the violence of the apartheid struggle. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has identified Skosana as the first known victim of necklacing.
==Death==
On July 20, 1985, Skosana was the first of a series of victims in South Africa to be killed by necklacing. Necklacing was a brutal practice that occurred in townships as a result of black-on-black violence.〔Cole, C. 2009. “Eyes and ears of the nation: television and the implicated witness” in Performing South Africa’s Truth Commission: Stages of transition. Bloomington: Indiana University Press〕
Skosana's death occurred in the township of Duduza, west of Nigel on the East Rand, Gauteng. Suspected of being a police informer, Skosana was held responsible for her perceived involvement in the deaths of three youth activists. Their deaths were reportedly planned by the Third Force: a group of covert government operatives tasked with managing township resistance.
It was because of her presumed role as a police informer that she was killed whilst attending the funeral of a friend.〔Cole, C. 2009. “Eyes and ears of the nation: television and the implicated witness” in Performing South Africa’s Truth Commission: Stages of transition. Bloomington: Indiana University Press〕 She had decided to attend the ceremony, even though it was the funeral of one of the people she had been implicated in killing. While it was Joe Mamasela, under command of his superiors (including Jack Cronje, Johan van der Merwe, Johan Coetzee and even the then president P.W. Botha〔Cole, C. 2009. “Eyes and ears of the nation: television and the implicated witness” in Performing South Africa’s Truth Commission: Stages of transition. Bloomington: Indiana University Press〕), who had planned their deaths, it was because of an assumed connection to him that Skosana was believed to have been associated to the explosion that led to their deaths. When she arrived at the funeral the vigilantes necklaced her as a public display of their disapproval of the hand grenade bombings.
Moloko said her sister was burned to death with a tire around her neck while attending the funeral of one of the youths. Her body had been scorched by fire and some broken pieces of glass had been inserted into her vagina, Moloko told the committee. Moloko added that a big rock had been thrown on her face after she had been killed.〔(Truth Commission Looks at First "Necklace" Murder. ) SAPA. 4 February 1997. Retrieved 2008-05-01〕
