Justice for Nokuthula Simelane

Simelane, who was a member of the ANC military wing, uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK),
was abducted by members of the SA Security Police under the command of Coetzee in September 1983. She was lured into a meeting for an underground branch at Carlton Centre,
Johannesburg, when she was abducted. During her subsequent detention for approximately five weeks, she was continuously assaulted and tortured by the group of security police, who were attempting to extract information concerning MK or its operations. 40 years later, we still remember and celebrate her with her beloved sister ,Cooperative governance and traditional affairs minister Thembi Nkadimeng.
