They emphasized that despite his dedication to the cause, Sibisi never received any benefits, which is why he lived in poverty until his death.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSibusiso Mnguni, who identified as Bonginkosi Sibisi's stepson, represented the Sibisi family in his speech. He ensures that all his fellow companions are aware of the hardships his father endured, and how his mother was detained multiple times while the apartheid authorities were searching for his father. Mnguni claims that his father was disrespected, no one showed concern, and he would shed tears while residing in a four-room house that leaked when it rained, the very same house he lived in until he passed away. His father believed he had devoted his entire life, but he eventually felt ashamed when the democratic government let him down. Mnguni narrates that his father is known for  wearing MK combat gear, but one day he removed it, stating it wasn't useful, while also declaring his loyalty to the African National Congress.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMnguni emphasized that ward councilors did not acknowledge his father, disregarded his living situation, no one offered assistance, he gained nothing from his contribution to the struggle. Mnguni explains that in current times, MKMVA operates like a funeral policy, offering R40 000 to the family of a member who passes away. He highlighted that they managed to handle all the funeral preparations for his father independently without any help from the authorities. Mnguni requested MKMVA members to engage with the government to guarantee that the families and future generations of struggle fighters receive benefits. To conclude, he showed his appreciation for those present.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMandla Ncayiyana shared that he and Bonginkosi Sibisi went to school together. He highlighted that Sibisi was principled, did not follow others, and acted in line with his beliefs. Ncayiyana remembers that during the mid-1960s, they realized that the situation was not good, but they were unsure of what direction to take. He mentions that Lenin from Russia authored a book titled What is to be done, and Sibisi demonstrated What is to be done through his actions. Sibisi founded the KwaMashu Youth Organization to mobilize young people in KwaMashu and alter the mindset and awareness of the youth. This group held fundraisers to finance their activities, including creating tapes containing revolutionary messages, purchasing books, making copies, and distributing them to young people. They were later members of both the Natal Youth Organization and the National Youth Organization. He also mentions that the group that was operating during that period was Steve Biko's Black Consciousness Movement.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNcayiyana mentions that over time, the Boers became aware of their activism, prompting him and others to go into exile from 1974-1975. Ncayiyana says he and others traveled to Botswana, whereas Sibisi journeyed to Swaziland. He also mentions how Sibisi was unjustly detained by the apartheid regime, emphasizing that it is an undeniable part of history that a patriot, a revolutionary, someone who devoted themselves to the cause, was falsely arrested and accused of being an informant. Ncayiyana confirms the accuracy of Sibisi's son's statement that liberation movements typically endure for a decade to fifteen years, benefiting only a select few with connections afterwards. He then posed the question of how to handle the situation and what measures to take. He clarifies that the goal in joining the fight was to enhance the living conditions of regular people in the townships and rural areas.\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Date"]},"value":{"en":["2023-04-10"]}},{"label":{"en":["Specific Location"]},"value":{"en":["KwaMashu G"]}},{"label":{"en":["Extended Locations"]},"value":{"en":["Durban - eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality - KwaZulu-Natal - South Africa"]}},{"label":{"en":["Duration "]},"value":{"en":["03:57:44"]}},{"label":{"en":["Contributors"]},"value":{"en":["# (Interviewee)","# (Interviewer)","Reinhardt Hartzenberg (field technician)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Repository"]},"value":{"en":["Audio-Visual Repository"]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["IsiZulu (Primary)","English (Secondary)","Swazi (Other)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Preferred Citation"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(Reference code) \u003c/strong\u003eKwaZulu-Natal Department Sport, Arts and Culture - KwaZulu-Natal Archives and Records Service; Oral History Unit\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Source URL"]},"value":{"en":["https://www.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/93036"]}},{"label":{"en":["Access Restrictions"]},"value":{"en":["This material is open for public access and research"]}},{"label":{"en":["Embargo Date"]},"value":{"en":["N/A"]}},{"label":{"en":["Format"]},"value":{"en":["MPEG-4 (Base Media / Version 2) - extension: .mp4 - ISO/IEC 14496-14 -Video Compression Standard: HEVC (H265) - Frames: 25fps - 16:9 - 8-bit - Compression Mode: Lossy - 854x480 pixels (Public Access - Format)","AVCHD - extension: .MPT - Frame rate: 25fps - 16:9 - Compression Mode: Lossy - 1920 x 1080 pixels (Original Media - Format)","ProRes422 - extension: .MOV - Frame rate: 25fps - 16:9 - 8-bit - Compression Mode: Lossy - 1920 x 1080 pixels (Video Archive Version - Format)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Primary Media Type"]},"value":{"en":["Video"]}},{"label":{"en":["Themes"]},"value":{"en":["Military Veterans","Struggle veterans","Anti-Apartheid Movement"]}},{"label":{"en":["Subject"]},"value":{"en":["Anti-Apartheid Struggle","Apartheid resistance and activism"]}},{"label":{"en":["Genre"]},"value":{"en":["Oral Histories"]}},{"label":{"en":["Conditions governing access"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eCollection is open for research.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Condition governing reproduction"]},"value":{"en":["COPIES FOR PRIVATE STUDY: Subject to copyright, conditions imposed by owners and protecting the documents, digital copies can be made.

Ncayiyana remembers that in the mid-1960's they realized the situation was not good, but they were unsure of what to do next. He mentions that Lenin from Russia penned a book titled What is to be done, while Sibisi demonstrated What is to be done through his actions. Sibisi formed a group of young people in KwaMashu known as KwaMashu Youth Organization, with the aim of altering the mindset and awareness of the youth. This group conducted fundraisers, created tapes containing revolutionary messages, purchased books, made duplicates, and handed them out to young people. They were later members of both the Natal Youth Organization and the National Youth Organization. He also mentions that the group that was in operation during that period was the Black Consciousness Movement led by Steve Biko.\r\n\r\nNcayiyana mentions that as time passed, the Boers became aware of their activism, causing him and others to go into exile between 1974-1975. Ncayiyana clarifies that he and others traveled to Botswana, whereas Sibisi traveled to Swaziland. He goes on to say that Sibisi was wrongly arrested by the apartheid government, stating that it is an enduring part of history that a dedicated patriot, revolutionary, and freedom fighter was falsely accused and labeled as a traitor. Ncayiyana clarifies that the statement made by Sibisi's son is accurate, as the liberation movement typically lasts for 10 to 15 years and only benefits a select few individuals who are well-connected. He proceeded to ask what should be done, how to avoid this situation?
