Steve Biko: The African Revolutionary, Why was he Killed?

698,650 Views • Premiered Jun 24, 2022 • Click to toggle off description
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 was seen as “the most important black South African leader of this generation.” So important, in fact, that the Apartheid Government was terrified of him.

South Africa desperately needs another Steve Biko. A true hero of Africa, not just South Africa. He lives forever in our minds.

Steve was a true warrior and hero to black peoples in South Africa and globally. Our Rastafarian community in Jamaica has always been a constant in raising jawareness and support from afar and getting ones to overstand the importance of black consciousness and black unity globally. Steve lives on through US 🇿🇦

I was hugely impacted by the murder of Steve Bantu Biko. I was a protected, white girl in Grade 11 when he died. I managed to get hold of the biography of Biko by Donald Woods. The movie about Biko is based on this book to quite an extent, as far as I recall (many years since I watched it) The book was banned in this country at that time. I remember hiding the book in case someone reported me to the police (can you believe it!!) I do wonder where we would have been today, if Biko had become president. I have read 'I write what I like" and it remains on my bookshelf. I take small comfort in thinking how he would have enjoyed seeing the tremendous mix of children in our schools, today; the confidence and freedom that children are able to experience now (I teach in an urban school). He will always be a much admired, very human, historical figure.

I consider Brother Biko the most influential South African whose work contributed immensely to the liberation of South Africa. His Black Consciousness concept influenced me shaped me and made me the man I am today. His death was the single most painful event in my life He died a year after I completed secondary school in Ghana His biography must be read and taught in every African secondary school. He was a giant in the same category as Dr Kwame Nkrumah

Considering that I'm a 27-year-old South African and the only thing I have achieved is a university degree, while Biko achieved so much at 30 years old. it makes me think what exactly im i doing with my life

Steve Biko's writings reached me here in America some years ago and I found him to be very intelligent and inspiring. His essay ...I Write What I Like ...is one of my favorite. He spoke eloquently about conditions in S. Africa. And his articles under Frank Talk were just as eloquent. And finally, of course, I had to read of the horrible way in which they murdered him...the horror is inexplicable. Thank you for sharing. 💁🌹🙋💯
