FATAL RENDEZVOUS
In 1978 five men die in a shack in Soweto, South Africa, during a skirmish between
the South African Security Police and Umkhonto weSizwe, the armed wing of the
African National Congress. A year earlier they had all travelled from Durban to Johannesburg
on a bus, totally unknown to each other. Isaiah Zuma: a nineteen-year old Zulu man destined
for the Witwatersrand gold mines to find work and provide for his destitute mother. Too
ambitious to work as a miner, he begins stealing explosives from the mine and selling them.
Wary of the dangers in this illegal industry, he approaches Umkhonto weSizwe. Accepted
into the organization, Isaiah works with another operative making bombs and bombing
targets to publicize the organization's struggle for freedom. Bala Desai: a young Indian tailor
who inherits his uncle's tailoring business in Pageview, Johannesburg, begins a new life with his
wife and daughter, only to have the government forcibly move his business to the unknown
Oriental Plaza and his family to the new Indian township of Lenasia. But Bala is determined
not to lose his inheritance. Bogdan Vodnik: a Yugoslav immigrant is hired as a buyer for the
Deep Reef Gold Mine. He is also an accomplished dealer in stolen and illegal goods. Coerced
by an Umkhonto weSizwe operative into acquiring bomb-making equipment for them due to
his violation of the Immorality Act and interrogated by the Security Police and forced to
work for them, Bogdan goes underground and joins the struggle for freedom. Joseph Matimba:
also known as "Shadow" and a survivor from the 1976 Soweto uprising, he
operates an Umkhonto weSizwe cell in Soweto, attacking and bombing targets to publicize
his people's struggle. Captain Tiaan Botha: a member of the South African Security
Police, his prime goal is to capture the members of an Umkhonto weSizwe cell in Soweto.
BLOOD WILL HAVE BLOOD
After the 1976 student uprising in South Africa, Simon Malaza leaves the country and
receives subversive military training from the African National Congress Military Wing in exile.
He returns to South Africa and manufactures a bomb with the intention of blowing up a
strategic building to draw the world's attention to the plight of his people. The bomb explodes
prematurely and Simon is killed. The South African Security Police arrest Simon's friend
Michael Maleka and torture him in an attempt to make him confess to being Simon's accomplice.
As Michael is innocent the police are eventually forced to release Michael from custody. Michael
swears revenge on the two white policemen responsible for torturing him and sets out to find the
two men and wreak revenge. During his search, Michael develops a lust for killing with his
chosen weapon, the tine of a steel garden fork.
"Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than revenge." Winston S. Churchill.
