Morning Star.png South Africa: 'Fearless' Naidoo's Anti-Apartheid Role Lauded The Morning Star, London, 5 December 2016 South African President Jacob Zuma paid tribute yesterday to anti-apartheid struggle veteran Indres Naidoo, who died at Cape Town's military hospital on Sunday. "Indres Naidoo will be remembered for his fearlessness in the face of the most brutal of oppressive systems," Mr Zuma said. Born in 1936, Mr Naidoo joined the Transvaal Indian Youth Congress and became secretary in 1953, joining the group's executive in 1958. In 1961 he became one of the first recruits to Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the ANC, also joining the Communist Party. In 1963 he was arrested for blowing up railway facilities. He was tortured, convicted and sentenced to 10 years in the infamous Robben Island prison. His book, Island in Chains, documents that time. Mr Naidoo served as the ANC's deputy representative to East Germany from 1988 to 1991, and was elected an MP in the first democratic elections in 1994.
