Steve Biko dies in detention ...

Date: 1977-September-12

Details:

Steve Biko dies in detention, following interrogation by the Security Police in Port Elizabeth. Woods first met Biko a few years earlier and they became the closest of friends. Though 13 years his junior, Biko's influence is central to a radical shift in Woods' political views and approach from that point onwards. Woods and Biko regularly arranged meetings in Xhosa (both Woods & Biko's first language) to disorientate the Security Police, as Biko was confired with a banning order at the time and both were routinely followed by the Security Police.
