As one the of the founding members of Umkhonto we Sizwe, he played a central role in directing the sabotage campaign of the early 1960s. Convicted for this, Ebrahim arrived on Robben Island in 1964, where for over 15 years he played a leadership role in the creation of the 'University of Robben Island', the university of revolutionary ideology. Soon after his release, Ebrahim became the head of the ANC's Political Military Committee in Swaziland, and as such, his life was under constant threat. He was abducted in December 1986 by apartheid agents and taken to South Africa to be tortured at John Vorster Square. He was charged with high treason and sentenced to a further 20 years, which would be his second stint on the Island. Ebrahim was, however, released in February 1991. Beyond Fear also tells the story of his post-1994 life, where he travelled the world doing international conflict resolution work. He later served as South Africa's deputy minister of foreign affairs. His great love story began at the age of 63 when he met his beloved Shannon Ebrahim with whom he had two children, who were, as he says his 'greatest teachers'. Ebrahim Ebrahim passed away on 6 December 2021, having become one of South Africa's most loved heroes."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-288) and index. 600 10 $a Ebrahim, Ebrahim. 610 20 $a African National Congress $v Biography. 610 27 $a African National Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00549188 650 0 $a Anti-apartheid activists $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political prisoners $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 7 $a Anti-apartheid activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810309 650 7 $a Political prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069636 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45571EEE4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
