Honored Work: “Smothering the Flames of Black Revolution”
From the South African township of Tembisa, home to a quarter of a million blacks, Zucchino reports with graphic detail the rage that seethes under the state of emergency: young blacks turning on blacks they consider traitors, black policemen savagely beaten and burned to death; the grisly frustration that tears at South Africa with no apparent end in sight.
