He had lived to the age of ninety-one, beating out an apartheid state determined to kill him because of his work... I called him Mkhulu, meaning grandfather.
Police beat him many times, broke his nose, and at one point, while he was detained, his house was destroyed in a fire... he was locked up for 586 days of solitary confinement.
No matter how brave and honourable Mkhulu Peter was, he had to have come back to his family a very different person after his solitary confinement. How much healing and help was he able to access to process his traumatic experiences?
Ramaphosa...kept to the talking points I had heard at so many funerals and celebrations during that time. To me, the ANC's repeated hearkening back to the past, shows how unable they are to handle what the party has become.
