Описание книги

When the Cradock Four’s Fort Calata was murdered by agents of the apartheid state in 1985 his son, Lukhanyo, was only three years old. Thirty-one years later Lukhanyo, now a journalist, becomes one of the SABC 8 when he defies Hlaudi Motsoeneng’s reign of censorship at the public broadcaster by writing an open letter that declares: my father didn’t die for this. With his wife, Abigail, Lukhanyo brings to life the father he never knew and investigates the mystery that despite two high-profile inquests surrounds his death. Join them in a poignant and inspiring journey into the history of a remarkable family. 'My Father Died for This' traces the struggle against apartheid beginning with Fort's grandfather, treason trialist and ANC secretary-general Canon James Calata.

The public support would increase seven-fold a few weeks later when the SABC decided to summarily dismiss all eight of them.

18 July 2016 was a Monday. I’d been back from leave for two weeks and, besides an updated charge sheet, things were quite normal for me at the office until around six that evening. Krivani Pillay sent a message to our WhatsApp group urging us to check our emails urgently. She seemed in a bit of a panic. She had just received an email from management informing her of her dismissal. Within minutes of one another, Suna Venter, Jacques Steenkamp, and Foeta Krige all confirmed the worst possible news – they too had been dismissed.
