- Title
- Work in Progress, Issue no. 43
- Description
- A 48-page issue documenting the intensification of internal conflict under the State of Emergency. The lead article by Josette Cole analyses the destruction of the Crossroads squatter camp by "wit-doeke" (vigilantes). Other reports cover the emergence of Inkatha-aligned vigilantes in Natal, the persecution of ethnic minorities in Bophuthatswana, the launch of UWUSA as a rival to COSATU, and women’s resistance to rape in Port Alfred. The issue also tracks the June 16 stay-away and the sentencing of Helene Passtoors.
