Boipatong Massacre 1992

The Boipatong Massacre happened on 17 June 1992. The attackers were supporters of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), rival party of the African National Congress (ANC), in a apparent revenge attack due to the killing of their members by the ANC. At the time, the South African government and several other political groups were negotiating in the Convention for a Democratic South Africa (CODESA) talks.

The Goldstone Commission appointed Peter Waddington to make an independent enquiry. His report was released on 22 July 1992. It stated that there was no evidence of police collusion in the killings.

We have to ask the question; who gained from this attack and who used this attack for international propaganda value?
