The "Cradock Four" epitomise the struggle and the suffering of apartheid times in South Africa. In 1985, Matthew Goniwe, headmaster and community leader, together with his friend and colleague Fort Calata, Sparrow Mkonto and Sicelo Mhlauli were brutally murdered by the apartheid security police. The truth about what happened was buried for more than ten years and only revealed as a result of the TRC. The healing continues today and we were invited to give a week-long Releasing workshop as part of his widow Nyame Goniwe's community healing project.

First day Releasing workshop in Cradock. Nyame Goniwe is in the centre foreground.
