Aubrey Jackson and Rosalie Bloch in Hout Bay. They were murdered at their home in Mowbray on May 5 2018.
The couple were tied up and murdered in May 2018 by burglars at their home in Wolmunster Road, Mowbray. Bloch was an active member of the Black Sash, the Women’s Peace Movement and the Detainees Parents Support Committee in the 1970s and 1980s.

Another brother, Lance, told mourners: “I want to speak to the ones who did it. It was in the same living room that was also the home for UDF [United Democratic Front] activists that my mother was killed in.
