In a candid and explosive interview on The Grand Narrative YouTube channel, former African National Congress (ANC) National spokesperson and veteran, Carl Niehaus, made shocking revelations about events that transpired during the apartheid era when ANC members were leaving the country for exile. Niehaus exposed previously undisclosed details about the escape of Vincent Tshabalala and the circumstances surrounding the tragic outcome of his journey.
During the interview, Carl Niehaus, a former member of MK (Umkhonto we Sizwe), the armed wing of the ANC, disclosed that he was directly involved in helping Vincent “Toivo” Tshabalala cross the border to escape the clutches of the apartheid regime. However, he revealed that another prominent ANC figure, Paul Mashatile, was initially intended to accompany them but didn’t join the escape plan.
“I helped Vincent ‘Toivo’ Tshabalala cross the border. Paul Mashatile was supposed to go with them, but he didn’t pitch,” said Niehaus. The decision to leave the country was undoubtedly a perilous one, as the apartheid authorities were relentless in their efforts to suppress the ANC and its members.
Tragically, Vincent Tshabalala’s return from exile would not end well. According to Carl Niehaus, upon his return to South Africa, Tshabalala met with Paul Mashatile at an Alex (Alexandra) house. However, just an hour after Mashatile left the location, the apartheid army attacked the house, resulting in the untimely death of Vincent Tshabalala. The chilling account of events sheds light on the dangers faced by ANC members and exiles during that tumultuous time in South Africa’s history.
The revelations made by Carl Niehaus have sparked discussions and debates across the nation. Commentators and ANC supporters are expressing gratitude to Niehaus for bringing these events to the forefront and shedding light on what they believe to be hidden truths.
One commentator remarked, “Leadership, thanks, I think the time is now to expose all these agents hiding under ANC who are selling South Africa. Thanks to Comrade Carl Niehaus.” The sentiment resonates with many who believe that transparency and openness about historical events are crucial in understanding the complexities of the past and ensuring a more just future.
Paul Mashatile, who has been a prominent ANC figure for many years, has not yet responded to these allegations. It remains to be seen whether he will address the issue publicly or if further investigations will be launched to delve into the circumstances surrounding Vincent Tshabalala’s tragic fate.
The interview on The Grand Narrative YouTube channel has opened up a new chapter in South Africa’s history, prompting citizens to reevaluate the sacrifices made by those who fought against apartheid and to seek greater accountability for past actions. As the nation reflects on its past, it is hoped that these revelations will lead to a more profound understanding of the struggles faced by ANC members during the apartheid era and foster a renewed commitment to building a just and inclusive society for all South Africans.
