Description: Hennie Smit with one of the doves he breeds, Pretoria, 1997. Smit's eight-year-old son, Cornio, was killed in 1985 by a bomb blast planted by MK (Umkhonto we Sizwe) members in retaliation for a raid by security forces on an ANC (African National Congress) base in Lesotho. Smit believed his son was a hero, because he died for freedom.
