Nomination for the Declaration of Grave of Mr. S.B. Biko, Steve Biko Garden of Remembrance, King William's Town as NHS

Expanded_Motivation: 

The Ginsberg cemetery is one of the oldest known black cemeteries arising as a result of early formalized segregation practices. Its most important grave is that of Mr Steve Biko, but also contains the graves of his mentors, thus it is the resting place of many of those whose work led to the disbanding of apartheid. The cemetery’s most famous interment was that in 1977 of the leader of the Black Consciousness Movement, Mr Steve Biko, after his death at the hands of the security police. During the planning to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the late Mr Biko’s death, it was proposed that the whole cemetery be proclaimed a Garden of Remembrance, since many of his friends, mentors and family are buried there.
