Today we remember the victims of the Church Street bombing.

40 years ago during rush hour on the 20th of May 1983 a car bomb exploded outside the Nedbank Square Building in Church Street, Pretoria. The perpetrators were the African National Congress' paramilitary wing - Umkhonto we Sizwe - the anti-white terrorist organisation.

The bomb killed 17 innocent civilians and wounded 217 more, mostly women and children. The two perpetrators accidentally killed themselves in the blast.

Many of the victims were so badly mutilated from the blast that the police and emergency response teams had trouble identifying the victims.

On this day, Nelson Mandela and his comrades killed 17 white South Africans and wounded hundreds more. Remember this next time someone praises him.
