Qaqawuli Godolozi
Qaqawuli Godolozi (26 July 1955- May 1985) was an anti-apartheid activist in the Eastern Cape. He was the president of the Port Elizabeth Black Civic Organisation PEBCO and a member of the United Democrtaic Front(UDF). Godolozi was abducted and murdered by security policemen along with fellow activists and members of the PEBCO 3, Sipho Hashe and Champion Galela.

Early Life
Godolozi was born to Mbuyiselo Godolozi (father) and Nobubele Jafta (mother) on the 26th of July 1955 in Durban. His family relocated to the Eastern Cape where he completed his schooling. He received his primary education at the Hotten Higher Primary School before going on to Healdtown Boarding School where he matriculated. After high school Godolozi moved to Port Elizabeth to work at the TLA construction company as a clerk. He met his wife Nqabakazi in 1978 and they got married in 1981.

Political Involvement
Godolozi became in involved in politics when he moved to Port Elizabeth and joined PEBCO. He was also an active member of the United Democratic Front. PEBCO was instrumental in establishing the Eastern Cape Coordinating Committee which led to the formation of UDF. The Committee called for all anti-apartheid resistance organisations to be put under one umbrella.

In 1980 he was elected as the president of PEBCO. Together with fellow apartheid activists and PEBCO members Sipho Hashe and Champion Galela Godolozi he played a key role in organising resistance activities. The stay aways, bus boycotts, strikes, protests and marches organised by Godolozi and his PEBCO compatriots were effective in getting government to negotiate with them. Godolozi's activism also placed him in the spotlight of the police and security policemen. The security policemen continually harassed Godolozi, he was continually expelled from his job and even fled to Lesotho for a while.

Death
Godolozi received a phone call on the 8th of May 1985, purportedly form a British diplomat. He was asked to fetch an ambassador form the then Hendrik Verweod Airport in Port Elizabeth. The phone call turned out to be a ploy to lure Godolozi, Hashe and Galela into the hands of the security police. The three men were kidnapped and taken to the Fort Chalmers an abandoned police station near Cradock in the Eastern Cape. At the police station the men were interrogated and tortured. Meanwhile, their families new nothing about the whereabouts, being told by policemen that the men had left the country.

The men were shot and their bodies were torched. Their remains were dumped in the Fish river. Joe Mamasela a former Vlakplaas assassin revealed the abduction and killing of the activists was a Vlakplaas operation. During theTruth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Hearings in 1997 former security policemen Herman Barend du Plessis, Johannes Martin van Zyl, Gideon Nieuwoudt and Gerhardus Johannes Lotz confessed to the murder of the PEBCO three, allegedly because they posed a danger to the state through their affiliation to the underground operations of the ANC in Port Elizabeth.

Legacy
Godolozi's as well as the other members of the PEBCO three's remains were discovered at the Fort Chalmers farm in Cradock. The national prosecuting authority's missing person's task force discovered the remains. The remains were excavated and finally buried at the Zwide Cemetery in Port Elizabeth with a special burial ceremony on the 3rd of October 2009 to honor the men for their contribution to the strugle for freedom. President Jacob Zuma paid tribute to Godolozi for serving the country.
