Punk against apartheid

Ivan Kadey and Steve Moni were members of National Wake, South Africa's first multi-racial punk band.

National Wake were South Africa's first multiracial punk band - and their apartheid era gigs would often end in chaos. Two members were black, two white, and their very existence was a provocation to those trying to uphold the racist status quo. They dreamed of a better South Africa, despite constant harassment by security forces. The band's surviving members, Steve Moni and Ivan Kadey, spoke to Outlook's Emily Webb.
