J ​ anuary 1917, 823 South African men
board the SS Mendi in Cape Town,
volunteers for the British Army
bound for the Western Front. Heavy
pre-dawn fog shrouds the impending
disaster in The English Channel. The
collision comes with such force that
the SS Mendi sinks in minutes. The
colliding vessel sustains only minor
damages. The captain does nothing
for the men in the water. By the time
rescue finally arrives, it is too late for
most. Dubbed the ‘Black Titanic’, the
sinking of SS Mendi was one of the
worst maritime disasters in the 20th
Century. 646 perished.
Khumalo will meet Kari Jegerstedt
in this talk.
