I stand for simple justice, equal opportunity and human rights.
They are indispensable elements in a democratic society and well
worth fighting for.' Helen Suzman (1917-2009) is an example of
courage and integrity. Throughout her 36-year career in Parliament,
she stood up for what she believed was right, campaigning
fearlessly against laws such as the Immorality Act, Forced
Removals, the Pass Laws and the Death Penalty. By raising critical
issues that would have been kept from the public, she gave a voice
to those who had been silenced. Her actions went beyond the walls
of Parliament too. She visited prisoners, including Nelson Mandela;
met with activists, like Oliver Tambo; and sympathised with
ordinary people suffering under the laws of apartheid. Read about
Suzman's life of determination, wit and honesty, and how she earned
the trust of the country and the respect of the world. They Fought
for Freedom tells the life stories of southern African leaders who
struggled for freedom and justice. In spite of the important roles
they played in the history of southern Africa, most of these
leaders have been largely ignored by the history books. The series
tells their stories in an entertaining manner, in clear language
and aims to restore them to their rightful place in history.
