Watch: Commemoration service in honour of struggle veteran, Peter Cyril Jones (3)
Struggle veteran Peter Jones, who was the last person to see Steve Biko alive when they were arrested by apartheid police, died after suffering a stroke. Jones had been involved in the Struggle in the 1970s and was part of the generation of leaders that fought against apartheid. Biko and Jones were leaders of the Black People’s Convention and were arrested at a roadblock on their way to Cape Town in 1977. That was the last time that Jones saw his comrade alive and Biko would later die in prison. The two men had been on a mission to unite liberation movements at the time.
An official provincial commemoration service was held at St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town.
Dean Michael Weeder officiated the service
