	Wishing Us Away: Challenges facing ex-combatants in the 'new' South Africa - Community Expectations, Perceptions and ...
		In the East Rand township of Thokoza, for instance, in addition to interviews with ex-SDU members, a focus group was conducted with some of their parents/care-givers, and another with female personal partners of SDUs (whether the relationship was current or in the past).
		The significance of the Thokoza SDUs for their communities is reflected in the words of the mother of a former SDU.
		Thokoza SDUs' use of the word is perhaps related to the less formalised and extensive nature of these particular paramilitary structures.

		Generally, MK/SDU and Thokoza SDU respondents are less vocal than other respondents in response to questions about how their war experiences have impacted on them.
		Thokoza SDUs are certainly not alone in their understanding of trauma as equivalent to 'missing your mind'.
		Thokoza SDU respondents, particularly, place importance on the role of the group to keep alive the memory of their friends who died.

		It closes with the perspectives of Thokoza SDU respondents on the Thokoza Monument, a reconciliation initiative built to honour the lives of those who died in the violence.
		In contrast to the fears of some MK/SDU and Thokoza respondents who maintain that they are specifically targeted as a result of their deeds as combatants, some SADF respondents refer to a more generalised revenge by 'Blacks' on 'Whites' in the form of violent crime.
		Thokoza SDU respondents feel that those who knew about their intention to build a monument let them down by allowing the appropriation to take place.

	TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION
		I was part of a group that was based inside the old Thokoza Hall and there were members of IFP who were inside the stadium and I could see that on the background the military cars which are moving with them and I did participate in shooting.
		We talk of Thokoza and we are not inside Thokoza and I'm aware that you people have the background of what happened but I'm quite sure you people, maybe some of you have never been even inside Thokoza so I thought maybe it would be better if I bring in Thokoza inside this story.
		We have two sections there, Thokoza Garden on top and Beirut underneath and the funeral procession was stopped right at the middle of those two sections, it's where the attack took place and as I said earlier that was the last funeral procession that went through the street.

	Symbols of Hope: Monuments as symbols of remembrance and peace in the process of reconciliation - Lazarus Kgalema
		Unlike the Thokoza Monument, the idea of a monument in Katlehong was initiated by the leaders of the two dominant political parties: the ANC and the IFP.
		For instance in Thokoza, Mojapelo mentioned that during the initial stage of the monument, the former conflicting groups, the SDUs and SPUs seemed to have a problem when the names of their victims were to be mixed on one monument.
		There was another example in Thokoza, one mother who submitted the names of her two children that had been killed to the monument list, stated that, though it was important for her to remember her children through the monument, their deaths had left her without anyone to assist with paying basic expenses like rent.
