Dulcie Evonne September (August 20, 1935 – March 29, 1988) was a South African anti-apartheid political activist who was assassinated in Paris.
September represented the African National Congress and was assassinated while opening up the ANC offices in Paris between 9.45am and 10.00am.[citation needed] Five shots from a .22-calibre gun with a silencer attached struck her in the head.[citation needed] It is not known who the assassin was.
Before her assassination, September had been investigating trafficking of weapons between France and South Africa.[citation needed] Supposedly, this trafficking included nuclear materials.[citation needed]
On the day after her murder, Alfred Nzo commented about September, "If ever there was a soft target, Dulcie September was one."[citation needed]
Jean Michel Jarre composed a song for his 1988 Revolutions album named "September", which was dedicated to her. The song was performed at his Destination Docklands concert at London's Royal Victoria Dock in 1988.
