AGGETT, Joyce

Age

Description
As the mother of Neil Aggett, who died in detention, Joyce was subjected to an unlawful search of her home in Somerset West, Cape, in her absence, by the Witwatersrand Security Branch, during April 1982. One Security Branch operative was granted amnesty for the unlawful search (AC/2001/005). He testified that he had been gathering evidence to be used at the inquest into Dr Aggett’s death, in order to support the Security Police’s contention that Dr Aggett had committed suicide.
