MINI, Nombiyiselo Jane

Age 20

Description
A PAC activist who was severely ill-treated when she was imprisoned for a year in December 1962 in Mqanduli, Transkei. Poqo attacked representatives of traditional authority in the homelands because chiefs were perceived as collaborating with the apartheid state. During that month, an attempt was made on Chief Kaiser Matanzima`s life and residents of Jixini Location, arrested either in Cape Town or Mqanduli, were transferred to East London to stand trial for Poqo activities.
