Steve Biko: The African Revolutionary, Why was he Killed?
On September 12, 1977, the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa was dealt a heavy blow due to the death of Bantu Steve Biko, a popular voice of Black liberation in South Africa between the mid 1960s until his death in police detention in 1977.
Biko was one of the most prominent leaders in the anti-apartheid struggle and in some quarters he…

The truth is, if someone fights for the truth in political matters.he/she is being hunted and dragged to be killed,Leaving alive leaders and their followers who always are corruptive,stealing money for citizens,greedy to eat amongst themselves not thinking about people who voted for them, Biko you showed compassion to all South African citizens,
We will remember u forever,
May Ur spirit rest in holy rest peace
If he was alive, we was going to be painted with all sought thing like the did with any black leaders.
Sanbonani everyone. I was born in South Africa in 1972. I can remember as a little girl in the kitchen where we lived hearing that Steve Biko had died. I never understood Apartheid. We as white children were terrorised at schools with bomb scares right up until I started teaching in 1995. I have only ever taught African children. I speak seSotho isiZulu, and love some of the black customs like labola, damages for getting a girl pregnant. I speak fluent English and Afrikaans and learnt seSotho in Primary school. IsiZulu in High school Then again at university at Rand Afrikaans University where for the first time I had black coloured and Indian friends I attempted seSotho again but what was called Northern Sotho. We all felt like fools because we could not master it.vHowever we tried and passed. At one stage we had to teach about a political leader or activist. I always taught about Mr Biko because we all need to be proud of who we are. Sometimes I am embarrassed to be white. I wonder what Mr Biko would say about SA today. Remember to Listen to Johnny Clegg's song called Biko. I am an African girl with a white skin. Nkosinathi Mme Sue
Freedom freedom
Allthe cadres came from eastern cape and attended fort hare,its obvious
I must say sir, you have a very smooth narration voice. I could listen to it for hours
This is an inspiring documentary to leave longer in the minds and souls of the maginalised people the world over
Very solid. and. interesting video..
Conjure that name anywhere you may be. It means the desire to be free.
Truly one of many brave African warriors fearless revolutionaries fighting satanic imperialism
What a waste of talent that was. Steve Biko was seriously blessed with super intelligence. The Caucasians are very jealous of any super intelligent black person. They think intelligence is their privilege, no black person should be, but all blacks must remain under their feet. This narrative must die a death forever. We are all blessed and should be respected as such for the benefit of all man kind.
He will be turning in his grave knowing what black South African did with his sacrifice…nothing, laziness, allowing whites and Asians get away with genocide and stolen loot while attacking other Africans instead.
RIP FATHER OF THE NATION.
While Revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered…..You cannot kill the idea…..
"Thomas Sankara"
What a courageous and honorable man!
Today most of what we invest ourselves in as the youth of today is parties and alcohol and and and and. I read this man’s works and it is clear that he was in a class all on his own. We were truly dealt a serious blow when they took him away. Continue to rest in peace son of the African soil. ✊🏽✊🏽
No man. I am so confused right now. Is this real footage of the homelands? Why does everything look so well kept. Why is it normal for people to have education and be able to persue degrees.
How do these black people have more wealth and look better dressed
This is so sad
Can someone please explain to me how black africans had so much more thsn they do now? Wht the hell happened
Wht the hell. Their house looks nicer than mine snd got it on a maids salary? Thts insane
A hospital and street name is Steve Biko !!!!!!!!
His the best honest and inspirational person, just went to buy news paper and was shot serial times ,his murderer spent a long jail sentence a huge loss to South Africa for a pioneer icon who Nelson Mandela had him as the next president, unfortunately his life was taken away ….. leaving back his youn kids and wife sad……
Thank you for putting this together. Very interesting. I would like to think that someday there will be no more hatred, bigotry or oppression but sadly- I don’t think humanity will ever be that amazing. 😢
1948, eh?
Same year as Israel
African countries have been denied the well positioned leadership of its energetic sons and daughters by colonial and apartheid racistic governments. May their souls rest in peace.
As a Kenyan who lived in South Afrika back in the 80s, i had the privilege of seeing encountering the intimidation of the apartheid system,when a white police officer stopped a black South Afrikan man from having a conversation with me, those days Chris Hani was preparing to invade South Afrika with an army.
