Former Student Representative Council (SRC) Vice-President shot by Police

Twenty-two years old former Student Representative Council (SRC) Vice-president at the University of Transkei and staunch opponent of Transkei government, Batandwa Ndondo, was shot by police on the outskirts of Cala, Transkei. Ndondo became one of the forty-nine victims on the list compiled by the David Webster Trust. Ndondo was a cousin of the Human Rights lawyer, Dumisa Ntsebeza. Ndondo and his four visitors, one women and three men, were fetched from his home by four police officers to the outskirts of Cala village. He was shot several times while attempting to escape from his captors. A post mortem showed he had been shot eight times, at least six of the bullets entering his body after he had fallen.
