Biographical and administrative history: Linda Mogale and Jimmy Mabaso were members of the Soweto Students' League which was opposed to Bantu Education and aimed to mobilise students for boycotts and sabotage. They were charged with murder and other crimes as a result of the petrol-bombing of a house when three people died as a result of burn injuries. Mabaso was acquitted but Mogale was given an effective 7 year sentence with leave to appeal.
