SCHOOL NAMED AFTER AHMED TIMOL

PRESIDENT Nelson Mandela unveiled a plaque and addressed school pupils in Azaadville, near Krugersdorp, on Monday morning after their school was officially renamed Ahmed Timol Secondary School. Timol, a Roodepoort teacher and African National Congress member, died in 1971 after being beaten and thrown by security police from the 10th floor of Johannesburg’s John Vorster Square police headquarters.
