Title: Diary from a South African prison
Description: "This is Tshenuwani Simon Farisani's harrowing account of the suffering inflicted on a single human being by the brutalities of apartheid. Farisani shows us the terror of torture, the fear of death, and the eventual victory of faith. "Here is a man of God, deeply committed to justice and peace, who has given himself in total solidarity with the struggle of his people to the cause of liberation in South Africa. Here is a Christian who has suffered the agonies of hell for the sake of his Lord, his calling as pastor, and his love for his people. Reading this autobiography is not only a priority but an absolute necessity."

He was the Dean of the Devhula circuit of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in South Africa, Northern Diocese, and imprisoned several times for his outspoken criticism of apartheid.
