Ruth First was killed by a letter bomb at Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo. The South African security operation targeted a researcher and activist whose work connected apartheid, labour exploitation and regional liberation. Her assassination demonstrated that the regime's repression extended beyond South Africa's borders. It also highlighted the role of knowledge production and intellectual solidarity in liberation movements.
