description: As Chairperson of the Residents Association on Weiler’s Farm, Transvaal, Lutu was repeatedly harassed by members of the SAP between 1984 and 1989 because she assisted farmworkers who, despite having paid rent to the farmer, were assaulted and had their possessions confiscated for transgressing the pass laws. Upon being relocated to Orange Farm, Transvaal, she established a farm clinic. Ms Lutu was detained in 1986 and was seriously injured by a named member of the SAP in 1992 because of her political activism.
