Dulcie September

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dulcie Evonne September (August 20, 1935March 29, 1988) was a notable murder victim.

Dulcie represented the African National Congress and was assassinated while opening up the ANC offices in Paris between 9.45am and 10.00am. Five shots from a .22-calibre gun with a silencer attached struck her in the head. It is still not known who the assassin was, but among the suspected are Joseph Klue (SADF Sergeant Major), Dirk K. Stoffberg (arms dealer and SA agent) and Heine Hüman who has claimed to be involved in the killing. Whoever he was, it is suggested that he was hired to kill Dulcie by the South African government.

Before her assassination, Dulcie had been investigating on weapon traffic between France and South Africa. Supposedly, this traffic included nuclear materials.

On the day after her murder, Alfred Nzo commented about Dulcie, "If ever there was a soft target, Dulcie September was one."

Jean-Michel Jarre composed a song for his Revolutions album named "September" and was dedicated to Dulcie. The song featured an African choir and was performed at his legendary concert at the London Docklands in 1988.
