SOUTH AFRICAN POET DENNIS BRUTUS ON STEAL THIS RADIO!

Nelson Mandela hid out in Dennis Brutus’ house while the apartheid army searched for him. Then Dennis served hard time in jail with Mandela and other heros of the anti-apartheid freedom struggle, and was a member of the African National Congress.

Today, some of those same South African radicals are opposing a lawsuit that Dennis Brutus and others have brought in US Federal Court in New York, which seeks to hold multi-billion dollar corporations accountable for their collaboration with apartheid and profiteering off of slave labour.
