JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Strini Moodley, one of the founders of the Black Consciousness Movement during South Africa's anti-apartheid struggle, died Thursday after a brief illness, his family said. He was 60.
He was a friend of Steve Biko, the Black Consciousness leader who died in police custody in 1977 after a beating.
Moodley was one of nine activists convicted on terrorism charges in 1976 and sentenced to six years in prison, which he served at South Africa's notorious Robben Island prison.
