On this day, 12 September 1977, Bantu Stephen Biko died in police detention at Pretoria Central Prison. He had suffered head injuries after being interrogated and beaten by racist police authorities. We remember #SteveBiko's selfless sacrifice to restore people to their humanity

[SA History Online @sahistoryonline]

Biko, the third of four children, had an older sister Bukelwa, an older brother Khaya, and a younger sister, Nobandile. Together, their names comprised a riddle: “Hayi ukuBukeka kweKhaya laBantu aBandileyo” translated into English “ We admire the expanded family”#RememberingBiko

Today, 17 January, we remember the Son of the Soil, Patrice Lumumba, first Prime Minister of Democratic Republic of Congo, assassinated just a few months after the country gained independence from Belgium in 1961. They killed him, burnt his body & poured acid over his remains.

A great man died today!. Sobukwe lives in everyone who carries his ideas in their hearts. He was a true leader of the African toiling masses. So feared was he by the apartheid government and because of that they separated him from other prisoners. #Sobukwe40
