About the author Hugh Lewin began his journalistic career at the Natal Witness before working with Drum magazine and Golden City Post in Johannesburg. After serving the full term of his seven-year sentence for sabotage activities against the apartheid state, he left South Africa on a ‘permanent departure permit’ in December 1971. Ten years in exile in London were followed by ten years in Zimbabwe. He finally returned to South Africa at the end of 1992. He was appointed director of the Institute for the Advancement of Journalism in Johannesburg and now works as a freelance media trainer. On the original Bandiet Hugh Lewin’s account of his seven years’ imprisonment …is …infinitely more than a profoundly moving and beautifully written chronicle, though it is certainly that. Its great strength is its honesty and integrity: the way in which the loss of freedom, the indignities, the viciousness of that long half-life are never over-stated. – Bishop Trevor Huddleston Title published by Random House SA Bandiet Out of Jail home   writers   books   contact   buy   rights all content © Umuzi, Random House Struik this website designed and maintained by Guanaco.co.za
