This is the autobiography of Eddie Daniels who was born in District Six in 1928. Because of his opposition to apartheid as a member of the Liberal Party of South Africa and the African Resistance Movement he was banned, detained, imprisoned and banned again. Facing a possible death penalty he refused to be a witness for the state or give undertakings to two supreme court judges who were prepared to negotiate with the National government for his release from prison.
He served his sentence of fifteen years on Robben Island in “B section” in the company of Mandela, Sisulu, Kathrada and other leaders. Three years and eight months after his release from prison, after the lifting of his banning orders, he and Eleanor married in defiance of the Immorality and Mixed Marriages Acts. After those cruel laws were expunged from the legal statute books, they remarried and today live in Somerset West, near Cape Town.
