Apartheid activist Jocelyn Motsuenyane passes on a day after burying her husband

JOHANNESBURG - Prominent apartheid activist Jocelyn Motsuenyane has passed away at the age of 92  just a day after burying her husband black business pioneer Dr Sam Motsuenyane.

The Dr Sam Motsuenyane Foundation confirmed her passing in a statement on Friday.

Affectionately known as ‘Koko’ Joselyn was named in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as a victim of politically motivated crimes.

In a TRC report Koko Joselyn is listed as part of a group of people who tried to organise a community meeting to address police brutality.

She later lost her house in a petrol bomb attack by members of the Bophuthatswana police in Winterveld.

The Motsuenyane family says her passing marks the end of an era.
