Residence in MamelodiH

He didn't really stay in Mamelodi, just had a house there were he stayed for one night. He preferred staying in Lynwood, which is a White suburb. --105.8.2.176 (talk) 10:32, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source on this? https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/25/world/africa/25smith.html just says "From 1985 to 1989, some of the most climactic years of the struggle, Dr. Smith and his wife, Ellen, lived in Mamelodi, the main black township outside Pretoria." That sounds like four years, not one night. SnowFire (talk) 10:38, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
