    Synopsis:
    Little is known about the first South African underground group sent for training in China in 1961 before the Sino-Soviet breakdown. As a member of that group, for over 50 years Nandha Naidoo has not spoken publicly about this experience. Here, he describes joining Wilton Mkwayi in Prague and Raymond Mhlaba, Joe Gqabi and Patrick Mthembu in Beijing where Mao Zedong spoke with them and gives a detailed account of the training in radio communication and technology that he received with Andrew Mlangeni in Mukden/Shenyang.
