With limited carreer options, thanks to the aprtheid policies of exclusion and segregation, Teboho Moloisi worked as a detective for the South African Police. He resigned in 1978 once he realised that black policemen were acting as puppets and cannon fodder in their defence of the minority racist regime, and were partly responsible for promoting apartheid's evil laws.
While still a police officer, he actively participated in the liberation struggle by hiding and transporting African National Congress (ANC) Cadres, organising boycotts and anti-rent campaigns, challenging municipal authorities in the Vaal area and working for the underground structures of the movement.
Little did he know that his own organisation, the ANC, would turn against him. Teboho Molotsi, whose cadre name was Thami Khaya, was first incarcerated on Robben Island by the apartheid regime and, later, detained and tortured in Quatro, Angola, by the ANC's security wing, Imbhokodo. His previous occupation as a police officer led them to believe that he was a spy. Surviving an assassination attempt, he was eventually permitte to play his part as an MK soldier — although his reputation was forever suspect.
The Dark Side of the Liberation Struggle is a vivid account of bravery and fearless dedication to the liberation cause. Despite false accusations, as his gripping story reveals, this loyal cadre didn't compromise neither his principles nor his comrades.
