Lindsay, I'll start with you. voice-verified

What do you remember? voice-verified

Talk us through it. voice-verified

Now, before we go any further, a quick history lesson. voice-verified

Apartheid was the system of segregation based on race in South Africa. voice-verified

The word actually means apartness or separation in Afrikaans, and the policy was formally introduced by the South African National Party after its victory in 1948, although racial segregation had existed in their country long before this. voice-verified

In 1960, 69 people were killed at a protest in South Africa, galvanising opposition parties. voice-verified

By 1981, it divided our country when it was announced that the South African rugby team would play 16 games in New Zealand. voice-verified

That was then Prime Minister Rob Muldoon answering there. voice-verified

And so the South Africans arrived, outraging thousands of anti-apartheid Kiwis, and protests quickly followed. voice-verified

Battens and brawls and barbed wire. voice-verified

Shame! voice-verified

As the nation split over a rugby tour from apartheid South Africa. voice-verified

Lindsay, just going to you, what did you see on that day 45 years ago? voice-verified

What was it like in there and, you know, was it violent or scary or, you know, talk me through the atmosphere there. voice-verified

There was a man next to you that had a knife. voice-verified

Is that correct? voice-verified

Lindsay also didn't see his older brother, 18-year-old Bryce, but he was there among the many protesters creating chaos and history. voice-verified

Audiences never saw the Springboks play Waikato. voice-verified
