We had to demand to have access to education, a fight that was fought over a period of three years until it was granted 1967. Guess who was the first among the inmates to register to study? Some fellow called Andrew Mlangeni. All my gratitude goes to my wife June, who stood by me. May her soul rest in peace. Despite her persecution and banning orders by the apartheid regime, she managed to send me money for the registration of books.
I was about to complete my law degree when the people across colour lines locally and abroad made it possible for us to be released from prison in October 1989 after being behind bars for 26 years.

Some of our political leaders have become absolutely corrupt – they are no longer interested in improving the lives of our people. They are busy lining their pockets with the money that is meant to help the poor people. What a disgrace! They have forgotten that many people died for this democracy that we are enjoying today.
