Remembering Rivonia

Published: March 6, 2018, 3:50 p.m.

South African journalist Gavin Fischer gets exclusive access to newly available recordings from one of the most significant trials in modern political history \u2013 The Rivonia Trial. He has a personal connection. His great-uncle Bram Fischer led the defence of Nelson Mandela and his co-accused during the trial in the early 1960s. Gavin looks back on the trial and Bram\u2019s decision to use his white privilege to fight apartheid \u2013 rather than be part of it \u2013 with Denis Goldberg, one of the last survivors of the trial.
