She was unarmed. Walking into her office in Paris.
 A South African exile who dared to expose an international arms trade.
 And in seven gunshots, Dulcie September was silenced—right outside the ANC mission where she worked.

But who pulled the trigger?
 And perhaps more importantly—who looked the other way?

In this episode, we unravel the chilling assassination of anti-apartheid activist Dulcie September. From her quiet beginnings as a teacher in Cape Town to her relentless investigations into French arms deals with the apartheid regime, Dulcie became a threat—not just to Pretoria, but to powerful networks across Europe.

What we uncover is not just a murder, but a web of complicity, cover-ups, and the uncomfortable truth: that even within liberation movements, voices like hers—Black, female, principled—were often dismissed, diminished… or disappeared.

Was she paranoid?
 Or was she right all along?

This is not just a story of political murder. It’s a story about the erasure of women. The cost of speaking out. And what happens when justice is never served.
