Conclusion Conclusion

“While we will not forget the brutalityof apartheid, we will not want Robben

Island to be a mountain of our hardship and suffering. We would want it to be a triumph of the human spirit against the forces of evil, a triumph of wisdom and largeness of spirit against small minds

and pettiness; a triumph of courage and determination over human frailty

and weakness” AHMED KATHRADA
