News24.com | Going underground with the Ashley Kriel MK detachment
It was an unusually warm Friday afternoon in August 1988 when Shirley Gunn, wearing a sunhat, sunglasses and a dress she wouldn’t normally be seen dead in, strolled casually into the Castle of Good Hope in the heart of Cape Town, carrying a limpet mine in a custard box.
At the time, the castle was the headquarters of the Western Cape Military Command from where the SA Defence Force fought Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) rebels.
Gunn, commander of the Ashley Kriel Detachment of MK, was sent to plant the explosive in the castle. As a white woman, it was easy for her to get around undetected. After taking the bus from Clifton, where members of the detachment were staying in a flat, she first walked a turn past the Adderley Street flower sellers to make sure she wasn’t being followed.
With a bunch of flowers she bought as an extra disguise, Gunn walked straight into the castle without a soldier batting an eye. There, she had a cup of tea while waiting for a group of construction workers to leave before she planted the mine in a strategic spot and left.
Back at the flat in Clifton they waited for the news. A massive blast had rocked the castle. No one was injured but the army was shocked and embarrassed at the manner in which their military base had been infiltrated.
Gunn, currently director of the Human Rights Media Centre, is one of 18 members of the Ashley Kriel Detachment whose stories are captured in Voices from the Underground, a collection of essays from each on their involvement in the armed struggle.
The detachment, named after one of their slain comrades, conducted more than 30 operations between late 1987 and early 1990, effectively fighting a guerrilla war against the apartheid regime.
On Thursday night the remaining members and 260 members of the public gathered in the Ashley Kriel hall in Salt River, Cape Town, to celebrate the launch of the book, which took Gunn and her co-editor, Shanil Haricharan, six years to complete. Each person’s account was recorded orally and later written down.
Retired Constitutional Court Justice Albie Sachs, who facilitated the night’s conversation with the two editors, said everything about the occasion was extraordinary.
“This is not a book about people dressed in army fatigues with their ribbons singing revolutionary songs. It is not a book about heroes. It is not a triumphant book or even a book about breathtaking action,” Sachs said. “It is a book about people who at a certain point in their lives were called upon to give of themselves. Not for their advancement, not for their right, not for their power, not for their riches, but for the nation. It is a beautiful read because it was told in the voices of the people.”
The book traces the journeys of the various members into MK, via student activism, trade unions, religious organisations and UDF politics. It details their training in exile, their experiences of detention and interrogation and what democracy has been like for them. For many of them, it has not been an altogether happy ending.
“When I think of the sacrifices comrades made in the struggle… they put the future into the hands of a generation that betrayed us,” said Haricharan, who was also a unit commander of the detachment and is currently a senior lecturer at the University of Cape Town’s Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance.
“I’ve stopped focusing on the political noise. I don’t read the papers anymore. I just do what I can do.”
While Sachs described the book as a “riveting account of the life and deeds of idealistic young MK operatives”, Gunn said she would never want to drop her ideals.
“This makes me disappointed a lot. There are many comrades that I stood shoulder to shoulder with that have become affluent who have forgotten where they’ve come from. I can say proudly that I’ve never abandoned my ideals.”

News24.com | Man stabbed to death at Clifton beach was a 1st-year UCT student, institution confirms
The University of Cape Town (UCT) has confirmed that four of its students have been involved in an apparent robbery at Clifton Third Beach in Cape Town on Saturday in which one was stabbed to death and another was injured.
Earlier on Sunday, News24 reported that police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut said the circumstances of the incident were being investigated.
UCT spokesperson Elijah Moholola said the 19-year-old deceased was a first-year humanities student from KwaZulu-Natal.
He was stabbed in the chest. His friend was stabbed in the leg.
Two others who were with them escaped.
“The incident took place on Saturday, 28 September 2019, early in the evening at Third Beach, Clifton, in Camps Bay. Of the surviving students, one suffered a stabbing assault and was treated in hospital. Though the other two students were not physically harmed. All three surviving students experienced severe shock and trauma from this terrible ordeal,” Moholola said.
While News24 is in possession of the student’s name, it has decided not to name him because it is unclear whether his immediate family is aware of the incident.
Traut said the investigating officer was in the process of liaising with the family of the student and that he was unable to officially release the name.
Although Moholola said the institution informed the immediate family of the student, he added that there was a chance that the message did not reach the entire family.
“The University of Cape Town is devastated to confirm that four of our students suffered a tragic incident, resulting in an indiscriminate robbery and ensuing violent incident,” he said.
The institution has extended its condolences to the family of the deceased and wished the other student in hospital a speedy recovery.
The three who managed to escape are also receiving counselling support.
“The Department of Student Affairs, through its Student Wellness Service, has provided the surviving students with counselling support, as well as students who were close friends.”
Moholola added that UCT was highly distraught that its students, and citizens in general, continued to be affected by violent crimes, and that it remained a scourge that needed to be confronted and eliminated from society.
The incident comes just weeks after 19-year-old first-year student Uyinene Mrwetyana, from the same university, was murdered at the Clareinch post office in Claremont, Cape Town.
Health24.com | Heart attack can be more lethal if symptoms are more gradual
Heart attack patients often take longer to seek help if they have gradual symptoms, which may put them at increased risk of death, researchers say.
Gradual symptoms begin with mild discomfort that slowly worsens, while abrupt symptoms are sudden and severe pain, according to authors of a study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing.
Maximum delay of two hours
“Both are a medical emergency and require urgent help,” said study author Sahereh Mirzaei, from the University of Illinois at Chicago. “But our study shows that gradual symptoms are not taken seriously.”
She and her team analysed data from 474 heart attack patients seen at US emergency departments. Symptoms were gradual in 44% and abrupt in 56% of these patients.
Overall, the average time between the start of symptoms and arrival at the hospital was four hours. Those with gradual symptoms waited eight hours to seek medical help, compared to 2.6 hours for those with abrupt symptoms.
A delay of no more than two hours is recommended for the best outcomes. Waiting longer increases patients’ risk of serious complications and death, according to the researchers.
Both women and men sought medical help sooner when they had abrupt symptoms.
“Nearly half of patients had a slow onset, so this is not uncommon,” Mirzaei said in a journal news release.
Uninsured patients more likely to delay
“Chest pain, chest discomfort, and chest pressure are warning signs that an artery may be blocked, and patients should call the emergency medical services immediately,” she said.
Arrival by ambulance was associated with quicker medical care, but only 45% of patients called for one; 52% used their own transportation, and 3% were transferred from another hospital.
Uninsured patients were more likely to delay calling for help, the study found.
It also found that symptoms were triggered by exertion, such as running, climbing stairs or shovelling snow, in 54% of men with abrupt onset and a diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Also known as STEMI, this is a particularly serious type of heart attack requiring quick restoration of blood flow to blocked arteries.
Mirzaei said men with ischaemic heart disease or multiple risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or a family history of heart disease should be aware that chest pain or discomfort after physical activity or exercise could be a heart attack.
“Symptoms can also include pain in the throat, neck, back, stomach or shoulders, and may be accompanied by nausea, cold sweat, weakness, shortness of breath, or fear,” she said. “Call an ambulance straight away; the sooner you get help, the better your prognosis.”

Sport24.co.za | Leicester climb to 3rd after thrashing 10-man Newcastle
Leicester – Leicester powered into third place in the Premier League with a 5-0 demolition of 10-man Newcastle that piled pressure on Magpies boss Steve Bruce on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers’ side maintained their impressive start to the season as they romped to a fourth win in their last five league games.
Ricardo Pereira opened the scoring in the first half before Newcastle’s Isaac Hayden was sent off for a dangerous tackle.
Leicester ran riot in the second half as Jamie Vardy struck either side of Paul Dummett’s own goal.
Wilfred Ndidi rounded off Leicester’s biggest league win since Rodgers arrived from Celtic to replace Claude Puel in February, leaving them just two points behind second placed Manchester City.
Rodgers’ appointment has proved an inspired move and Leicester look capable of challenging for a top four finish, especially given the inconsistent form of Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Newcastle were the only team to win a league game at the King Power Stadium since Rodgers took charge.
But that success was during Rafael Benitez’s reign last season and they are a far less obdurate side under Bruce.
After this woeful display, Newcastle sit second bottom of the table and have won only once in their first seven league matches.
Mike Ashley’s decision to hire Bruce from Sheffield Wednesday was greeted with disdain by Newcastle fans and the under-fire 58-year-old already appears to be fighting to save his job.
With Ashley still being linked with a deal to sell Newcastle, Bruce could be gone before a regime change or very soon after unless results improve quickly.
James Maddison was absent for Leicester because of an ankle injury, with the midfielder’s place going to Dennis Praet in the only change from last week’s 2-1 win over Tottenham.
Even without Maddison, Leicester were quickly into their stride as former Newcastle winger Ayoze Perez tested Magpies keeper Martin Dubravka.
Newcastle could have been ahead against the run of play when Hayden drilled a low cross towards Yoshinori Muto, but the Japanese forward scuffed woefully wide.
Rodgers’ team made the most of that escape to take the lead in the 16th minute.
Portugal right-back Pereira has earned a reputation for lung-bursting surges that can unhinge opposing defences and once again he was too hot for Newcastle to handle.
Playing a one-two with Perez, Pereira surged towards the Newcastle area unchecked by the visitors’ defence before firing a fine finish into the bottom corner for his second goal in his last two games.
As rain lashed down, Bruce already cut a bedraggled figure on the touchline.
But Bruce’s day got even worse in the 43rd minute when Hayden was sent off for a reckless studs-up lunge on Praet that left the Leicester midfielder crumpled on the turf.
Leicester had already beaten Newcastle on penalties in the League Cup this season and Rodgers’ side were on course for a far more convincing success by the 54th minute.
Praet picked out Harvey Barnes and cushioned a first-time pass over the top into the path of Vardy, whose low shot evaded Dubravka’s weak attempt to save at his near post.
Vardy’s fourth goal of the season was followed by Leicester’s third of the day three minutes later.
Praet advanced down the right and his shot was turned into his own net by Newcastle defender Dummett.
With Newcastle in disarray, Vardy netted again after 64 minutes when he met Marc Albrighton’s cross with a clinical header at the far post.
Leicester showed no mercy to Bruce and Ndidi turned swiftly to fire home in the 90th minute.
