Walter and Albertina Sisulu: In Our Lifetime

Biographies & Memoirs

David Phillips Publishers

For more than five decades Walter and Albertina Sisulu were at the forefront of the struggle against apartheid. As secretary-general of the ANC, Walter was sentenced to life imprisonment with Nelson Mandela in 1964 and spent 26 years in prison until his release in 1989. While her husband and his colleagues were in jail, Albertina played a crucial role in keeping the ANC alive underground, and in the 1980s was co-President of the United Democratic Front. Their story has been one of persecution, bitter struggle and painful separation. But it is also one of patience, hope and enduring love. Walter and Albertina Thethiwe were born in small rural villages just a few miles apart in the Eastern Cape hinterland. From these humble beginnings, they would go on to become two of the country's most respected and beloved figures, among its greatest crusaders for human rights and dignity. For over five decades the pair - married in 1944 - were at the forefront of the struggle against apartheid and the injustices it wrought on black South Africans. The story is a moving love story against all odds. This book is the winner of the prestigious Noma African Literature Award and was a finalist of the Alan Paton Award.

It is ten years since the original publication of Breaking the Silence: A Report on the Disturbances in Matebeleland and the Midlands. In conjunction with the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace and the Legal Resources Foundation in Harare, the Report is offered again at a time when the events it describes--the Gukurahundi--have acquired a fresh relevance. This edition has an introduction by Elinor Sisulu, who reflects on her own and others' silence at the time of the killings, as they celebrated a newly independent Zimbabwe; and a foreword by Pius Ncube of Bulawayo, well known for his outspokenness and for his stand against the ongoing human rights violations by the government in Zimbabwe. It is hoped that this edition will find a new and wide readership, and that the re-availability of the Report will mean that more people will campaign for an end to human rights violations in Zimbabwe, and for restorative justice for the victims.
