A play about a man who became politically active after being wrongfully arrested during the 1952 Defiance Campaign in New Brighton, spending six weeks at North End Prison because of misidentification by police. In 1962, he left South Africa for military training in Ethiopia. He was arrested in Rhodesia en route back to South Africa in January 1963 and was detained alongside Nelson Mandela in Robben Island for 14 years, to be released with a five-year ban in April 1977. He joined Umkhonto we Sizwe and helped launch and lead the 1980s civic movement in the Eastern Cape. Even though he was banned, he helped to launch the Port Elizabeth Black Civic Organization (PEBCO) in 1979.
