07: They Killed Dulcie: Impunity?

Published: May 22, 2019, 10 p.m.

The final episode of They Killed Dulcie takes a critical look at what happened to the investigations of Dulcie September\u2019s murder. So pervasive is the impunity for the economic crimes that sustained apartheid, that Dulcie September\u2019s tenacious struggle for freedom was abruptly ended without redress. Why were victims like Dulcie forgotten, and why were the perpetrators allowed to go free?\n\nBefore her murder, Dulcie September was investigating the global networks that financed and armed the apartheid regime. So far, They Killed Dulcie has explored why she was assassinated and looked at the corporations, spies and arms dealers who may have had a hand in Dulcie\u2019s murder. \n\nAs will be seen in the podcast, some of the same corporations Dulcie was investigating have continued to do business with the post-apartheid government. Why were Dulcie September\u2019s comrades, today\u2019s leaders, so eager to make friends of their old enemies? Dulcie, however, has been erased from South Africa\u2019s history books, though not entirely from our memories. They Killed Dulcie but they could not erase her.
