I remember reading somewhere that this was around the time Nelson Mandela met Makeba for the first time and the deviance and determination in her even inspired him. It was no coincidence for the apartheid movement that Mandela went to jail and Makeba to exile a few years after. The resistance kinda stalled for years until Biko came along.
