Andile Mngxitama Reviews Biko: A Biography by Xolela Mangcu
Verdict: stick
Very little is disclosed about Steve Biko that we do not already know, but we do get a sense of Mangcu’s Âautobiography.
We have waited almost a decade for this life of Biko, a task that has held many a Bikoist to ransom. It has been as though no work on Biko could commence without this much-anticipated magnum opus. There is also another truth: Biko was a complex philosopher, an intimidating figure in modern South African politics. Mangcu must be commended for his bravery in tackling such a weighty subject.
