In the rueful words of his widow, for Zephania Mothopeng, privacy was a foreign word. Lives lived solely for the struggle may be virtuous, but they are hard to embody as flesh and blood. Working against such odds, Ali Hlongwane has succeeded to make his hero simultaneously tragic, vulnerable, likeable and believable. Drawing support from a rich collection of memoirs, documents and letters, he has created a moving portrait of a sacrificial life. And occasionally in Hlongwane's luminous text, we catch a glimpse of another man, a humane and gentle personality as fond of everyday sources of joy and comfort as you or me. But this is mainly the story of a warrior, a saga of a life lived for posterity with all its fulfilments and all its costs. Certainly this biography will cement Mothopeng's place in South Africa's national pantheon but in its empathy and affection for its subject, Ali Hlongwane's book will find for the old lion new followers in fresh places."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 238-241) and index. 505 0 $a Early years, education, marriage and the fight against the Bantu Education, 1913-1955 -- Basutoland: Mohlabani and the political journalism of Khaketla, Mokhehle, Mothopeng and Mphahlele, 1955 -- The emergence of the Africanists and the founding of the PAC, 1952-1959 -- The status campaign and positive action campaign, the trial and the first prison experience -- Poqo!
