South Africa’s worst violence in 140 years? – Did 9,000 prisoners escape from a prison in Natal?
2002: 60 of Blacks said life under Apartheid was better
This is a story from Britain on my African Crisis Archive. Of course life was better under Apartheid, but nobody wants to admit that White rule was better. In 2023, Blacks are still realising this truth, but few dare say it.
There are a couple of stories in the MSM about prisoners who escaped in Natal during the extreme violence. Like these:-
20 prisoners are on the run from a group of 31 who escaped during the violence: https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/south-africa/2021-04-28-at-least-20-prisoners-on-the-run-in-kzn-after-gunmen-intercept-prison-van/
One Black died trying to escape from prison: https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/brazen-escape-attempt-at-kwazulu-natal-prison-1-inmate-killed-20210712
But I have come across references, which seem to indicate that the Zulus were trying to create a massive jail break at a jail whose name begins with "West". And the suggestion is that possibly, 9,000 prisoners escaped. I cannot be certain. But I’m looking for more info on this.
