ANSWER
That is the case, the true picture was that areal situation of war did exist, any person in the black areas,working in the black townships would be able to tell you the same.  The media however, the press were kept out of the black townshipson the instructions of the Government of the day, they were notallowed in the black townships.   If you found a member of themedia in the townships you took his film and you allowed him toleave the township.   They were not able to gather a true pictureof what the state of affairs had been.
