The elimination of black spots began in earnest in the 1960s. Whole communities were uprooted and forced to leave their homes. Many were dumped in areas often unsuitable for cultivation, lacking water supplies, far from main roads and out of reach of hospitals or clinics. Any sign of resistance was dealt with by armed police. A Franciscan priest, Father Cosmas Desmond, who made a journey the length and breadth of South Africa to ascertain the full extent of the forced removals policy in 1969, later described how he found a ‘laby - rinth of broken communities, broken families and broken lives’. Between 1960 and 1970, nearly 100,000 Africans lost their homes during the elimination of black spots. Many more were to follow.
