  As part of the Heritage Month celebrations in South Africa, which among others honours the memory of some of the country’s struggle icons, Professor of African politics at UNISA, Kealeboga Maphunye, is urging young people to familiarise themselves with what the Black Consciousness Movement leader, Steve Biko, stood for.
