Were some people trying to beat Stephen Biko so hard that he would symbolically die on 9-11? The attackers and abusers of their authority probably didn't fully understand the death and destruction significance with the #911, or 9/11.
"On 11 September 1977, police loaded him in the back of a Land Rover, naked and restrained in manacles, and began the 1100 km drive to Pretoria to take him to a prison with hospital facilities. He was nearly dead owing to the previous injuries. He died shortly after arrival at the Pretoria prison, on 12 September." https://fireflyafrica.co.za/steve-bikos-cell-at-walmer-police-station/
Steve Biko being found dead on 9-12, or any other day of the year is still a tragic loss.
