Interview with Joyce Mokhesi, whose brother Francis looked likely to face the death sentence in South Africa for alleged involvement in the Sharpeville murder (03/09/84) when a protest march turned into a riot and the Deputy Mayor, Kuzwayo Jacob Dlamini, was murdered. The death sentences imposed on the six defendants have now been commuted to jail terms and she praises UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher for her appeal to the South African Government over the affair. Male reporter not identified.
