Today marks 45 years since the founding leader of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) Robert Sobukwe died at the Kimberley Hospital in the Northern Cape in 1978.

According to Sobukwe ‘s biography on SA History online, he founded the PAC in 1958 after breaking away from the African National Congress Youth League. The apartheid government had jailed Sobukwe for three years for incitement – after he organised a march against ‘pass laws’ in Sharpville on March the 21st 1960 – now known as Human Rights Day.

The “Sobukwe clause” was developed and renewed every year just to keep him in jail on Robben Island where he was kept in solitary confinement.
