Steve Biko and Peter Jones were arrested at a road block in Grahamstown on this day in 1977. They were on their way back from an unsuccessful secret trip to Cape Town. Jones was held at Algoa Park while Biko was held at Walmer.
HISTORY MADE (AGAIN)! 🏆
South Africa’s Kgothatso Montjane and her Japanese partner Kamiji are #RolandGarros DOUBLES CHAMPIONS once more! 🇿🇦
In a thrilling comeback, the duo overcame a first-set scare to defeat No. 2 seeds Xiaohui Li/Ziying Wang (CHN) 4-6, 7-5, [10-7], claiming their SECOND Roland Garros title together (first: 2023).
For Montjane, this marks a THIRD Grand Slam doubles crown (Roland Garros & US Open ’23) – cementing her legacy as one of the greats!
What a fight, what a triumph! KG & Yui, take a bow! 👏

@Sbusiso_Rza @SizweDhlomo Yet surnames as we use them came by way of colonisation. Staunch westerners are anti double barrel surname&believe women should take the surname holistically like the modern African traditionalist. Our tradition advocated for women to keep their forefathers name as uMasibanini.
@Sbusiso_Rza @SizweDhlomo Apparently it's not even an African thing to take the husbands surname as a wife. That's why even when a wife is being called in general, they use her maiden surname. I don't know what the fuss is now.
