Daniel Sechaba Montsitsi was the leader of the Soweto Students Representative Council, the formation that planned, organised and executed the events of the fateful day. For his role, the apartheid security police arrested and tortured him before sending him to Robben Island, where he spent three years.
Another 1976 Soweto uprising leader, Seth Mazibuko, said after receiving the bad news about the passing of Montsitsi, he could not sleep. “As I am doing this interview, I am in pain because Montsitsi was one of the few that were left from the leadership. Cope spokesperson Dennis Bloem said this is not only a loss to his family and Gauteng but a huge loss for the entire country. He was a patriot who loved his country.
Wow! Sad. He was an inspiration for many of us
