Description: "The brutality of apartheid had a way of eroding fear, leading some non-white South African to realise that 'we are doomed if we fight, we are doomed if we don't.  In this spirit of Dan Mduli rebelled against the stat 's repressive pass law as a teenager in the sixties. In 1962, he become the member of the Poqo, the armed wing of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), to join others like Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, who were already engaging in various forms of resistance against apartheid and colonialism. This led to his arrest, torture and incarceration on Robben Island. The notorious Special Branch of the South African Police (SAP) continued to make his life hell even after release and subsequent exile in Swaziland. Arrested again during the rounding up and expulsion of the PAC from Swaziland in April 1978, he was eventually deported to Canada, where he functioned as the PAC'S chief representative. As serve, suffer and sacrifice suggest, may detainees weren't able to withstand the suffering and torture at the hands of the SAP ... and paid ultimate price. Fortunately, Dan Mdluli is happy to be alive and have played his part in the struggle against apartheid having served, suffered and sacrificed a great deal."--Back cover.
