TextPublication details: Auckland Park, South Africa : Jacana Media (Pty) Ltd., 2023. Description: x, 206 pages, 4 unnumbered pages of plates : color illustrations ; 24 cmISBN: 9781431429981 (paperback)Subject(s): Politics and government | AutobiographiesSummary: "Khulu Radebe had had a full life. Then, at the age of 50, he discovered that he was a king. As a teenager, Khulu Radebe was part of the Alexandra Township 1976 uprisings. Arrested and sent to Robben Island, he was one of the youngest prisoners there. Returning to Alex, he participated in the township's 1986 Six Days War. Radebe joined the armed struggle, repeatedly dodging death from the enemy and from fellow MK soldiers in Angola. At age 50, and proving a prophet's prediction correct, Khulu Radebe learned about his royal roots. He was informed that he was the ruler of the AmaHlubi people of the Embo Nation, a nation that stretches along the east coast of Africa. In chronicling his extraordinary life and times in this landmark autobiography, Radebe, in a humane and vivid way, chronicles too the revolutionary path for freedom in South Africa. Alexandra Township in Johannesburg is a central character in this book and Radebe reveals an astonishing story of the post-1990 war between Inkatha and the ANC in Alex. Gripping, bold and original, Comrade King, is an unforgettable story."-- Back cover.
