Sam Ntuli

Sam Ntuli (died September 26, 1991) was a South African anti-apartheid activist and community leader. He was a prominent figure in the Alexandra Civic Organisation (ACO) and played a significant role in resisting forced removals and fighting for better living conditions in Alexandra township near Johannesburg during the 1980s. Ntuli was known for his strong leadership, his commitment to community mobilization, and his advocacy for the rights of Alexandra residents. He faced harassment and detention from the apartheid authorities due to his activism. His assassination in 1991 remains a significant event in the history of the anti-apartheid movement, and he is remembered as a martyr for the struggle against racial segregation. The circumstances surrounding his death have been subject to investigation, though definitive answers have not been universally accepted.
