29 years after his execution by the apartheid regime. The remains of slain UDF member, Michael Lucas have been handed over to his family at Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo. Lucas was 21-years old when he was hanged at then Pretoria Central Prison, now known as Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre, in March 1988. He'd been convicted for the murder of bus inspector, William Blaauw during protests in Oudtshoorn two years earlier. His body was exhumed at the Mamelodi Cemetery in Pretoria in May.
