Interesting background. In your opinion, how much, and what type of influence might Stephen Biko have had were he not killed?
I think Biko was one of many that were trying to give rise to the black consciousness. I can’t say whether he would have had more influence than others, but he did become a rallying cause after his death. It may be cruel to say so, but he probably achieved more as a martyr.
His death was an injustice though, and one of those cases I personally think the police should have been prosecuted if they did torture him like the subsequent reports say. The official report stated that he was injured trying to jump from the window at the police station.
