Remains of 42 anti-apartheid fighters returned to SAfrica

The South African government says it wants to repatriate the remains of activists who fought white minority rule from abroad to honour their part in the struggle that led to the end of apartheid in 1994.

A veteran of the South African liberation struggle carries a box with one among the total of 16 exhumed bodies during a hand over ceremony of human remains from Zimbabwe to South Africa for repatriation, at the Museum of Human Sciences in Harare, on September 25, 2024.
