Ramafoko, Mokate |
Banished twice and died of an inoperable cancer of stomach in banishment at Driefontein. He lay in the camp in pain, wasting away for several months before he was removed to hospital, already a dying man. For him there had been no doctor, no medication, no pain killers, to ease his agony during those last months. That he did not die on this dumping ground was due to the efforts of his fellow banished who called the police when appeals for the district’s surgeon brought no result. Ramafoku’s end is a terrible testimony to the deliberate callousness and cruelty of the banisment system. | ||
