Fort Calata
Fort Calata was an anti-apartheid activist and one of the Cradock Four, a group of activists who were brutally murdered by South African security forces in 1985. His death, alongside his compatriots, became a symbol of the violent repression faced by those opposing apartheid. The murders sparked widespread outrage and brought attention to the atrocities committed during the apartheid regime. Despite confessions from former police officers regarding their involvement in the killings, no one was prosecuted, leading to ongoing calls for justice and accountability in post-apartheid South Africa.
