Manfred Zylla: Death Trap This work is Zylla's record of the event that occurred in October of this year, which came to be known as the "Trojan Horse" incident. It took place in the coloured residential suburb of Athlone near Cape Town. Police forays into black areas were being met with strong resistance such as barricades of burning tires, stone-throwing and 'traps' dug into the road. The people simultaneously demanded "Troops out of the townships." In an effort to punish stone-throwers, police hid in crates on a truck and had the truck driven up and down a busy thoroughfare in Athlone. Eventually people began throwing stones, and immediately the police burst out of their crates and opened fire. Moments later three boys lay dead by the side of the road. The youngest was Michael Miranda who was 11 years old. He was a relative of Zylla's wife. He was on his way to the shop when it happened. The drawing of Michael in his coffin was sketched from a picture Zylla took at his funeral. The work is done in pencil.
