Loading player...
Today marks the 10 anniversary of the death of anti apartheid activist and attorney Dullah Omar. He was one of the few attorneys who was prepared to take on the political trials which were becoming increasingly common. In the early 1960s he defended accused in the Poqo trials, and in the 1970s acted for the Black Peoples' Convention and the SA Students' Organisation.
His passport was withdrawn in September 1981, three days before he was to leave for London to begin study for a Master of Law degree. To tell us more about this is Judge Issa Moosa an attorney who security police hounded his legal practice out of District six in 1969, he set up his office in Athlone. In 1994, Moosa acted as a consultant with the Department of Justice under the late Dullah Omar
