Description

Synopsis:

In a final interview just before his hospitalisation and passing, anti-apartheid struggle stalwart Ahmed Kathrada was asked to sum up the life of Ebrahim Ismail Ebrahim, or “Ebie” as he is fondly known, in one word. Kathrada said that “courage” best describes him. He added that Ebie’s life has been characterised by the “spirit of sacrifice”.This booklet captures precisely that – the story of someone who from his early teens, dedicated his life to political activism, in time becoming one of the most senior leaders of the liberation movement. It is the story of someone who despite immense obstacles - including torture, imprisonment and constant degradation at the hands of the apartheid state - remained resolute in the struggle for freedom.
