Edit ProfileCareer
He was expelled from the University of the North (now known as University of Limpopo-Turfloop) in 1972 for his political activists and he became involved in the Black Consciousness Movement in 1973. After his expulsion from the then University of the North in 1972, following his scathing critique of the Bantu Education Acting of 1953, he went on to teach at Morris Isaacson High School near and around Central Western Jabavu (CWJ) in Soweto. This same school attended by Tsietsi Mashinini, who was an integral part of the 1976 student uprising.
lieutenant is possible that, in some way, it was at Morris Isaacson where Tiro introduced the philosophy of the Black Consciousness Movement to the students and thereby, starting a campaign to encourage students to question Bantu Education.
Tiro was killed by a parcel bomb in Botswana in 1974.
