Thirty-five years after the death in police custody of Steve Biko, an online archive about the South African anti-apartheid activist has been published.

If Steve was still alive today, his statement would read:

"October 2012 South Africa Weather Fine it was business as usual in police room 619"

Sad but true.

Always good to see or hear Peter Gabriel lyrics. It's a great song and helped to spread the word about the atrocities happening in South Aftrica and the bastards who were running the country.

Steve Biko lead a peaceful movement and was brutally killed for doing so nothing gets away from that.

It happens all the time in Africa.

I would question the wisdom that says african political movements are peaceful.

Even Ju Ju has compared the new to the old.

The current South African government certaily looked like a bunch of bastards a few weeks ago with their attitude towards striking miners and the actions taken by the police.

That doesn't alter the fact that the apartheid government was run by complete and total *********, and that Steve Biko was killed by them for trying to stand up for the rights of black South Africans.

The new regime is doing exactly the same.

It's a mistake to base one's opinion of others on a Peter Gabriel song.
