Black consciousness took root after the ANC and PAC went underground and into exile. The silence of the 1960s was transformed into a powerful new voice in the 1970s. Black consciousness spread amongst journalists, students, intellectuals, artists. Onkgopotse Abram Tiro, a Turfloop graduate, was one of the first SASO leaders to die for his belief in black pride. In 1974 he was assassinated by a parcel bomb after he had fled to Botswana.
