Ruth First quotes
" Arrested with Harold Strachan and Joseph Jack under the Explosives' Act on a charge of having instructed men in the manufacture of home-made bombs, Govan was held in prison for five months, three of them in solitary confinement. "

Ruth First
" As the book went to press Govan Mbeki sat in the dock of the Rivonia trial, side by side with his fellow Transkeians Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, and Raymond Mhlaba. "

Ruth First
" By the beginning of 1963 both Govan and I had been served with government prohibitions against writing, preparing, or compiling any material for publication. "

Ruth First
" Govan Mbeki is recognized widely in South Africa as an expert on the Transkei and on rural and agrarian problems. "

Ruth First
" Govan won scholarships to the Fort Hare University College, to do his school leaving certificate examination and an Arts degree. He also gained a diploma in Education, leaving Fort Hare at the end of 1936. "

Ruth First
" Govan's book on the Transkei helps to explain his deep involvement in the political struggle of his people. He has a formidable grasp of economic and political problems. "

Ruth First
" In addition, we were unable to meet openly to discuss the progress of the book, for we were both on the list of persons banned from communicating with other banned persons. "

Ruth First
" In the early thirties Dr Edward Roux, then a member of the Communist Party, had pitched a tent outside Fort Hare, and for the first time Govan explored the Marxist view of the African problem. "

Ruth First
" It was at this point that I came into the picture, to reconcile the two versions and edit the final form of the manuscript. "

Ruth First
" Less than a month after Govan's arrest I, too, was detained for ninety days under the General Law Amendment Act. The ninety days grew to 117, till I was released in December 1963. "

Ruth First
" Mbeki began to write a study of the workings of apartheid policy in the reserves - the areas set aside in law for African occupation - as early as 1959 and 1960. "

Ruth First
" Mbeki was acquitted after those court proceedings; the manuscript was smuggled out of the cell to the typist who pored over the faint pencil writing on the thin paper, by candlelight and in the privacy of her township room. "

Ruth First
" Poverty and the rule of race that is called apartheid drive the Transkeian migrant from security on the land to work in the cities, and then back again. "
