When it comes to the great “what ifs?” of South African politics, then there can be no greater points to ponder than what this country might look like now had Chris Hani and Steve Biko lived long enough to make an impact. Hani was assassinated in 1993 by a white extremist, ahead of the country’s freedom election. Biko died in police custody in September 1977, eliciting the famous comment from the then police minister, Jimmy Kruger: “I am not pleased, nor am I sorry. Biko’s death leaves me cold.
Had Hani lived, he would undoubtedly have had an influence on the ANC’s politics of succession and may have one day become president himself – perhaps even obviating Jacob Zuma’s rise through the ranks.
They're dead,you never know they wouldn't join the gravy train,they make a noise before the dawn of democracy.
Our so called leaders and/or liberators have no imagination and no backbone. They are just following the Americans and Europeans with a begging bowel and perpetuating the misery of the people in the process Today we hear of senseless passes and soon it will be NO FREEDOM!
