- I was a young South African when Steve Biko was murdered in Police custody. I still recall the day. My Uncle was later deported from South Africa with his young family. The sad part is that very little has been done by our current ANC government to remember people like Steve Biko and Robert Sebukwe who gave so much to the struggle for human rights in this country.

- he was an African!! a true African for that matter, he believed in equity, fairness and justice for all! he was the voice of the people, the black people but contrary to that he was the voice of the unheard. i for one believe he should be remembered , and be remembered by anyone who believes in freedom for Africa, education for Africa and the liberation of a black man- the African. Africa unite!!
