I understand that Helen Zille was the journalist who revealed the death of Steve Biko at the hands of the security police. If that's true, it is worthy of mention in this article.165.146.189.82 13:11, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Not that I know of, or that a cursory google search reveals. I'll look around a bit more, though. dewet|✉ 13:44, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

...and just as I hit submit, I find the link. Here's an IOL story about her, with the following paragraph:

Zille, a former journalist who was praised by her peers for her role in exposing the brutalities that led to the death in detention of the Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko, is the national spokesperson for the Democratic Alliance.

So I guess that's enough of a cite, no? dewet|✉ 13:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

That's as much as I heard (which was on Cape Talk Radio). It was a comment made in response to a listener who was making the jump from Zille being white, and DA, to the "obvious" fact that she would then be anti-black.192.96.88.227 12:09, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
