Walter Sisulu - A life

Moments in South African History

Walter Sisulu dedicated more than half of his life to equal rights and opportunities for all South Africans. But he never sought any credit for his involvement or achievements. Instead, he paid a high price for his beliefs and vision. The apartheid authorities jailed him for more than 25 years in a bid to break his spirit and his grip on ordinary South Africans. Angie Kapelianis has been digging in the archives to trace Walter Sisulu's difficult, but rewarding journey.
