Tainted Heroes
"The ANC and the struggle for power in South Africa"
Synopsis
Tainted Heroes tells the story of how the African National Congress (ANC) β once a marginalised organisation within the South African political landscape β rose to power in the aftermath of the Soweto Uprisings in 1976. The documentary deals with the organisationβs military training received in various African countries as well as the lesser known story of how the ANC underwent strategic training in Vietnam to implement a so-called peopleβs war strategy against its rival organisations. This was especially implemented against the organisationβs former ally, Inkatha, led by Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi. The film explains how the ANC successfully implemented a predetermined programme of violence, fear and propaganda to eliminate political rivals and establish itself as the sole representative of black aspirations in South Africa. It illuminates how the ANCβs armed struggle was more a struggle against black rival organisations than against the apartheid system.
