An inquest into the death of anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko has been halted after his family requested additional time to prepare. According to The Citizen, the family said hundreds of documents connected to the case still require close review before proceedings can continue. Biko died in police custody in 1977, and the reopened inquest seeks to examine the circumstances surrounding his death. The postponement delays the long-awaited legal process as the family works through the case material.
