Biko family welcomes temporary inquest halt

from Update@Noon · host SAfm

The family of the late Black Consciousness Movement leader, Steve Biko, has welcomed the Gqeberha High Court's ruling to temporarily halt inquest proceedings into his death. The family filed an urgent application to halt proceedings in order to obtain critical affidavits and documents from the 1977 inquest and the archives of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Biko's Family Lawyer Ngqiqo Sakhela
