Biko Family Seeks Delay in Inquest | Johannesburg News

The Biko family is fighting to delay the reopened inquest into Steve Biko’s death, arguing they need more time to prepare and consult with his widow, Nontsikelelo. Their legal team, led by Advocate Dali Mpofu, insists thousands of Afrikaans documents must be translated and that critical testimony from Ntsiki Biko remains essential. The court pushed their hearing to Wednesday, despite a previous postponement being denied — partly because the two former security officers involved are aging and may lose memory of key events. Testimony continues, with one officer calling their encounter “coincidental” and denying intent to harm, while another faces scrutiny over conflicting accounts of Biko’s condition during interrogation.
