SABC crew caught between PAC factions

Abrupt & frightening end to our broadcast from Sharpeville cemetery as 2 factions of the PAC stormed in front of our cameras & started threatening each other violently. Thanks to amazing crew for sheilding & running me out of there! Ducked a few blows. See y’all tomorrow 🙏 sharp

Prof Mangaliso Sobukwe and all forebears of Pan Afrikanist Congress of Azania are turning in their graves. When will Afrikans start to stand united? It's a sad thing to happen on such a glorious day where many lost their lives so we can be free

For 365 days the PAC is dead under a rock, come this day, that they should have embodied and ran with , all they can do is fight among themselves. Over what? Nothing is left of this once mighty giant, sad.

So sad. Each faction wants POWER. And the significance of the day fizzles away. Robert Sobukwe must be turning in his grave.
