Successful businessman, Mkhuseli Khusta Jack, overcame incredible odds after
being evicted from his farm home at the age of 6 with his 8 siblings. Desperate for
schooling, he walked for kilometres, slept in outbuildings, begged for an education
and eventually enrolled at the age of 10. But the political climate was volatile and
he quickly became involved in politics.
As an activist, he was arrested on several
occasions, most notably during the 1980 school boycotts. He helped establish the
PE Youth Congress, one of the many organisations that joined the UDF. Jack
was instrumental in organising the consumer boycott campaign (EC). He was
arrested, jailed and tortured for his role in the movement. Before Mandela’s
release, Jack was amongst the political consultants during the democratic
negotiations but decided to finally finish his studies and chose education above
politics.
A story of sheer determination and triumph with commendations by Thabo Mbeki,
Dali Mpofu and Kgalema Motlanthe.
