Will do SA internal politics later.
I meant his father, who was called Steve Biko Sr. He was also a sound advocate for anti-apartheid, though the steve biko you named (his son) was much more famous. I didn't find his father's photo so i stuck his son's photo. They look close enough.
I learned that through the I Write What I Like. Written by the Steve Biko you mentioned. His father is one of the many unnamed heroes of Apartheid South Africa fighting against Apartheid, was a pretty huge face back in those days, but faded away
It's not a political union like the EU, but like the European Economical Community (EEC) and it will remain that way. (sorry personal bias as a brexiter). Military and Diplomatic Integration is not there. It's more of a mutual assistance with each other than anything else. It's a forum for diplomatic and military lobbying, but only a Economic Union, nothing else. Of course that doesn't stop Himalaya, being the regional power from rubbing a few shoulders, but on paper only economic union.
South Africa not being isolated for three more decades is going to change a lot of things
I meant his father, who on anglicised was Steve Niko Sr. From Steve Niko's book I was shocked to find out that, his father was a pretty strong fighter against racial laws, and somehow he is lost to history for the most part. Nelson Mandela will also be interesting in TTL
