Donny boy, do you know what necklacing was? It's extrajudicial execution carried out by the oppressed to cause terror. You soak a rubber tire in gasoline, and then place it around the victim's body, and then ignite it. As the tire melts and the victim burns to death generally a communal group would observe it as a public execution.
It ended apartheid. Because Marxists had the strength to do the unthinkable. These were men and women with children they loved, with families they loved. What do you think drove them to brutality? How can you deny it was necessary?
"I just don't know the layman's terms
To call the mess you breed
What thaws beneath this surface
Soils blood to your family tree
The dates they change with each new phase
I'm anxious bouts of nervous
What am I without the bruises?
This switch it won't come on
What do I do to lose it?
Beneath this distress call
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
Frames of infrared
Keep scrolling into focus
Scarab crank the busy signal
With the habits that you noticed
The dates they change with each new phase
I'm anxious bouts of nervous
What am I without the bruises?
This switch it won't come on
What do I do to lose it?
Beneath this distress call
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
Taking all the hostages
Into the Oval Office
Draw the curtains, part their hair
And pull the trigger softly
If they have me committed
Then I'll just take you with me
One driver in your motorcade
Is all it takes, is all it takes
Sandmen grains in Teflon veins
Is all it takes, is all it takes
What am I without the bruises?
This switch it won't come on
What do I do to lose it?
Beneath this distress call
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside."
'Necklacing' represented the worst of the excesses committed in the name of the uprising. This was a particularly gruesome form of mob justice, reserved for those thought to be government collaborators, informers and black policemen. The executioners would force a car tire over the head and around the arms of the suspect, drench it in petrol, and set it alight. Immobilized, the victim burned to death."
I suppose they should've signed a petition online to stop being considered sub-humans.

Saturn return: DeKlerk legalizes the ANC
I could find nothing to support this date under the original heading of “abolishing apartheid” but upon further research I could spot an article from the New York Times archives about DeKlerk legalizing the ANC, that must have been the incident to which it was referring.
Another pertinent fact, is that apartheid was a relatively recent prohibition into South African politics — it was instituted…

Ramaphosa’s Power Base Grows, but South Africa’s Reform Road Still Rocky
Johannesburg: President Cyril Ramaphosa’s re-election as leader of South Africa’s ruling party has strengthened his grip on power, but a core of vocal opponents in its new executive suggests the country’s way to much-needed reforms will remain a rocky one.
Ramaphosa secured re-election, preparing the way for him to run for a second presidential term in 2024, on Monday in the voting of African National Congress (ANC) members that also chose the party’s new National Executive Committee (NECK). That vote sidelined some ministers and others in an anti-Ramaphosa camp loosely connected with Jacob Zuma that, with the ex-president embroiled in battling corruption allegations that he denies, rallied around former health minister Zweli Mkhize.
