On the first day of school my teacher, Miss Mdingane gave each of us an English name. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to British bias of our education. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why this particular name I have no idea.’’ He was in prison for over 27 years of his life. Why?
