This past week, South Africa held another round of mixed-race elections...this time for local government. Daniel talks with journalist and author Allister Sparks about the task ahead for these new leaders...and about a potentially explosive case currently unfolding in South Africa. This past week, the former South African defense minister was charged in the murder of 13 people at a prayer meeting in 1987. But Sparks says the massacre was just one event in a series of violent events now believed to have been provoked by a 'hit squad' organized by the former defense minister.
