Summary
"Lebona Mosia was born on January 18, 1952 in Alexandra Township. He was active in the June 1976 student protests and left the country in August 1976. He travelled to Manzini in Swaziland where he joined the ANC and MK. He spent a number of years in ANC military camps in Angola. While in exile, he also furthered his training in politics and journalism in the former East Germany, Ghana, and the United Kingdom. On his return to the country in December 1991, he joined Rhodes University as a political science lecturer. He later became Dean of the Faculty of Arts from 1996 to 1999, and Head of Journalism Department from 1997 to 2002 at the Tshwane University of Technology. He left academia to join public service, where he remained until his retirement. His story is about sorrow, anger, redemption, loss, and healing. It is about fighting for what one believes in, it is about persevering in the face of what may seem like insurmountable obstacles, knowing that the price one pays, is worth the sacrifice."-- Back cover.
