On March 29, 1988, at the age of 52, anti-apartheid activist Dulcie September was assassinated in central Paris. September’s death caused shock and outrage in her home country South Africa and in France. At the time, she was investigating alleged illegal arms deals between France and South Africa. After 34 years, September’s murder remains unsolved. “One of her main commitments in this position was lobbying to stop investments in South Africa and enforcing sanctions against the country,” according to Afrolivresque.com.
