==Strijdom Square==

On November 15th 1988 Strydom parked his car in central [[Pretoria]] and walked to a monument, located in central Pretoria, to ex-South African Prime Minister JG Strijdom. Here he started shooting at the Blacks who were sitting around, he shot some 23 before entering an Indian-owned shop.

On November 15th 1988 Strydom parked his car in Prinsloo Street, central [[Pretoria]], at approximately 3 pm. He was carrying some 200 loose bullets in his pockets, as well as two extra magazines for his 9mm pistol. He was wearing a police-issue camoflage jacket and an AWB belt buckle.

Whilst at the shop he shot the shopkeeper who had come outside to investigate the gunshots.

He made his way to Strijdom Square, where there was usually, during the afternoon, a large population of Blacks, unemployed and employed alike, it had become a favourite spot for inner-city workers. There was large numbers of people eating, talking and sleeping in the various leisure spots which were situated beside Strijdom Square.

A Black civilian, named Simon Mukondeleli (aged 32 at the time) approached Strydom from behind as he was reloading his gun in the shop. Mukondeleli said, "Baas (Afrikaans for boss, the way Blacks, under Apartheid, were expected to address Whites) the other baas wants you".

Barend chose Strijdom Square because, until 2001, it contained a monument to a former Apartheid-era Prime Minister, J.G. Strijdom.  

Mukondeleli then wrestled the gun from Strydom.

Barend appeared on the square and began firing at any Black person within his line of sight, he reported that, "I shot one in the stomach, he was eating a hamburger, he just at me and laughed, so I shot him again". Strydom shot a municipal street sweeper in the torso, killing him.

The police arrived and Strydom refused to attack them, saying that he "Could not shoot White men".

He walked across the square and exitted at the northern side of the square, which were facing a row of Indian-owned shops, here Strydom shot an Indian shopkeeper who can come outside to investigate the gunshots.

 

From here Strydom turned down Struben Street and walked in SATO Engineering, where he began to reload his pistol, at this point a 32 year old Black man named Simon Munkondeleli approached Strydom from behind and tapped on his shoulder. Munkondeleli said, "Excuse me baas (Baas is Afrikaans for boss and was how Blacks were expected to address Whites under Apartheid) but that baas is calling you". When Strydom turned around Munkondeleli snatched the pistol from him and turned it on him.

 

A group of policemen arrived and arrested Strydom shortly thereafter who proclaimed, "I am the King of the White Wolves".
