Timeline

1996

Mohapi joined the South African Students' Organisation and the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) while he was studying at Turfloop. His first detainment came in October 1974 after SASO leaders celebrated the independence of Mozambique. He was released in April 1975 after spending 164 days without having been charged. During the Human Rights Violations Hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa held in East London on 15 April 1996, his wife stated that it took the family months to find out where he was detained and she was there for a week before they allowed her to see him for two minutes. Mohapi was also elected permanent secretary of SASO and also worked as director of Zimele Trust which was an organisation that took care of ex-political prisoners and their families. In September 1975, he was banned under the Suppression of Communism Act and confined to the areas of King William's Town and Zwelitsha.

A hired handwriting expert determined that Mohapi’s signature was forged but no charges were filed. Steve Biko’s letter to the principal magistrate regarding the death of Mohapi was written on 12 January 1977. It reads:
