Sam Ntuli

Sam Ntuli (died 29 September 1991) was a South African trade unionist and anti-apartheid activist who was assassinated in Thokoza on 29 September 1991. A prominent community organiser on the East Rand, he was the general secretary of the Civic Association of Southern Transvaal (CAST) and regional secretary of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa).

Ntuli's death severely inflamed tensions between supporters of the African National Congress (ANC) and rival Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP). However, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission later ruled that Ntuli's death was less an act of political violence than an incident of taxi violence: it dismissed the suggestion that IFP leaders had ordered Ntuli's assassination, concluding instead that he had probably been targeted by minibus-taxi operators in the region who resented him because his political organising harmed their business interests.
