ACTIVISTS will mark the birthday of black transport worker Belly Mujinga, who died of Covid-19 after being assaulted by a man while she was working.

Campaigners and Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy will join Ms Mujinga’s husband Lusamba Katalay at the Covid memorial wall in London on March 26.

They will call for full support and protections for all front-line workers, including risk assessments that consider the disproportionate risk faced by black, Asian and minority ethnic workers.

Speaking on behalf of her family, lawyer Lawrence Davies said: “We are seeking answers to why it was necessary for Belly to be on the station concourse and why key information has not been handed over to her family.”

The 47-year-old mother worked for Govia Thameslink Railway as a ticket office clerk at Victoria Station in London.

On March 21 2020, she and another black colleague were allegedly coughed, shouted and spat at by a white man on the concourse, who claimed to have Covid-19.

Ms Mujinga had health problems and had asked not to work on the concorse, however she was ordered to do front-line duties outside the ticket office and without personal protective equipment.
