Krish: Struggle Lawyer

 

By Krish Naiddo (Foreword by President Cyril Ramaphosa)

Shereno Printers. $19

 

The book is well written, accessible, educative, gripping and often entertaining while infused with a deep sense of humanity and humility. Naidoo truly defies all the stereotypes that (often justifiably) cling to legal prose. He gives a compelling account of his own life and struggle as well as important eras and facets of our history. He narrates his involvement in headline-making episodes in our struggle: the 1987 United Democratic Front advert calling for the unbanning of the ANC; Murphy Morobe, Valli Moosa and Vusi Khanyile’s 1987 escape from detention to the US consulate in Johannesburg; the 1987 Culture in Another South Africa conference in Amsterdam; the Convention for a Democratic South Africa negotiations and the Transitional Executive Council in 1993 as well as the more recent trials and tribulations of the SABC. He also recounts the painful political trials that ended with the death penalty, the humanity and heroism of his comrades and clients: The Sasol Three; The Moroka Three; The Sharpeville Six; and the Upington 26.
