"With our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country" – Winnie Mandela, 1986


Necklacing, according to Wikipedia, is ‘the practice of summary execution and torture carried out by forcing a rubber tire, filled with petrol, around a victim's chest and arms, and setting it on fire’.

These acts of extreme violence are often glamourised in the context of The Struggle against Apartheid. Twenty years after the end of Apartheid the practice continues.

As a white South African I have had to endure a lot of criticism for the choices my forefathers made. I would gladly trade my childhood memories of Necklacing for those of world peace, or even an ice-cream.
