One of black South Africa's voices of conscience during Apartheid was born and raised in the slums of Pretoria in 1919. In his 1959 autobiography, Down Second Avenue, he portrays his personal struggles against the Apartheid regime and the segregated school system, from which he was barred from teaching. He subsequently became a reporter for The Drum Magazine and was exiled for his critical writings. He then lived in Nigeria, France, and the US, where he taught at the University of Denver and the University of Pennsylvania. During that time he continued to publish essays, novels, and short stories. He returned to South Africa in 1977, but the government withdrew the University appointment that he had been offered. He subsequently became professor of African Literature at the University of Witwatersrand. (RN)
