Thola Mosala was the leader of a Sotho minority group in the Transkei who was opposed to the homelands' independence.
He was held at a Butterworth prison for 87 days and died in November 1976, allegedly from internal bleeding from a gastric ulcer. Eastern Cape Hawks spokesperson Yolisa Mgolodela says an inquiry was opened in February this year after Mosala's family filed an application for one. "During the apartheid regime there was a lot of foul that was done in trying to torture and torment those people. I am referring to the likes of Steve Biko, the Cradock Four and many others more, especially from the former Transkei.
"What is going to help us in finalising the inquiry is his body being exhumed and that is taken to a state hospital for examination so as to determine actually what is the cause of death."
