In the British Media (1959) : Second night of rioting in Paarl.

The Times really followed this story in 1959. It is nice to see that they featured a picture of the whole family of mama Elizabeth Mafekeng (Rocky), who was the president of African Food and Canning Workers Union (ACFWU) and the deputy president of the ANC women's league. Apartheid authorities forced her to leave with only the baby, leaving the husband and other kids behind.  (Click on the picture).
