Political activist, political prisoner, member of Lenasia Students’ Union.
When Prema Naidoo and others were detained in 1981, the South African press published a photograph of his ten-year-old son, Kuben Naidoo, holding up a banner outside the magistrate’s court in Johannesburg calling for the release of all detainees. It quoted him as proclaiming:
“I feel proud to be doing it for the struggle and I am not scared.”
