MICH F_ __ ONE OF the first titles from the new Kliptown Books imprint conveys the courage and fortitude, strength and anger. hope and even humoor of thouands of political prisoners in apartheid jails. DEBORAH EWING has been reading Michael Ditgake's account of his revolnionaryjourney.* Michael Dingake spent 15 years on Robben Island for inciting, and participating in, opposition to apartheid. Sustained and brutal torture psychological as well as physical day after day of hard labour, deprivaIss and isolation, and the incessant attempts o Afriancrdom to make Dimgakn swallow its myth of the 'African' brought him t a firm cnclusion' that aS of South Africa is a prison - or prisons within a prison. And that the moulders ad upholders of apaotheid loch themselves behind their uwn bas, in the Central Prinon of Greed, or the ma -u -hm ecurit ptison 01 lear and prejudice. Reelation g, as common as eeolotin to the stories of South African and Namibian freedom fighters - it is usually the revelation that the kernel of humanity is protected beneath more layers of the individual than a sambok, a gun, or even an insult can penetrate. Dingake, lhke many of his comrades in the struggle realises that one's humanity cannot be destroyed, only surrendered, sold or discarded by its possessor. By the time he was released from prison in 1981, to return home to a fete Botswana Dingake's incarceration had rendered him not a broken man but a man of unshakable principle whose hope for fie tuture surmounts aS present despair Diogahe was imprisoned Nelson Mandela, falttr Herman ja Toivo, Bily Nar, Kathnada and manv othesred the liberation mcvernot as gives insightful recollection political debate and argures brotherly support thkey shaed d the ruthless prison regime It is not are, though humbling, to fnod giants ofsac and sclidarty a the ANC, Si and beyond.
