4 April 1980
African National Congress (ANC) insurgents launched a rifle, rocket and grenade attack on Booysens Police Station Johannesburg. Pamphlets were scattered demanding the release of Walter Sisulu from Robben Island. In 2000, the Amnesty Committee of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) granted amnesty for the attack to Siphiwe Nyanda, Solly Zacharia Shoke and Malekolle Johannes Rasegatla, all members of the ANC and Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK).
