Maki Skosana (c. 1961 – July 20, 1985. was a black South African woman who was burned to death and the footage broadcast live on South Africa's state-run television. She was killed by a mob of anti-apartheid activists who suspected her of being an informant. Her death by "necklacing" elicted outrage beyond the nation. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has identified Skosana as the first known victim of necklacing, although it is more likely that she was not the first such death, only the first filmed.

Not surprised. All the old timers who were in the police and such that I know tell me anti-apartheid activists had no love for their black brothers if they suspected them. That approach means they weren't any better than the white man who oppressed them. Look into Mandela's wife. She ordered her cohorts do this to a 14 year old boy they suspected of snitching.
