The struggle for democratic education had already begun in the
early part of the 20th century with people like Z.K. Matthews, long
before 1976 or the school boycotts in the early 1980s. In his early
teens, Z.K. Matthews questioned many imbalances in education. He
also disagreed with many teachers of his time who believed that
whites were naturally more clever than blacks. As a young teacher,
he had a dream that improved African education would better equip
black people to fight for their political rights, and throughout
his life as an educator, he worked to fulfil this dream. In fact,
many of his students went on to become influential political
leaders. Z.K. himself became a respected leader in the ANC, and
gave the organisation the idea of the Freedom Charter. Z.K.
Matthews' story will serve as inspiration to many young people who
have come to realise the value of education. 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.
