Produktinformationen zu „65 Years of Friendship (ePub)“
65 Years of Friendship tells the heartrending story of a remarkable friendship between two remarkable men: world-renowned human-rights lawyer George Bizos, and Nelson Mandela. George and Madiba met as students at the University of the Witwatersrand in the 1940s. They would later become legal colleagues, and Mandela would become George Bizos' most famous client soon after, for it was Bizos who formed part of his legal defence during the famous Treason Trial, and again during the Rivonia Trial, when Mandela and others faced the death penalty for plotting to overthrow the state. After seeing his friend sentenced to life imprisonment instead, Bizos became Mandela's lifeline, navigating the complicated network of the Struggle. Working tirelessly, be it by secretly meeting Oliver Tambo in exile or arguing for the abolishment of the death penalty in the Constitutional Court years later, Bizos offered his unwavering support to Mandela on his long walk towards a democratic South Africa. In this touching homage to their friendship, George Bizos tells a fascinating tale of two men whose work affected the lives of all South Africans.
Autoren-Porträt von George Bizos
George Bizos was born in 1928 in the Greek village of Vasilitsi. During the Second World War he escaped from his occupied homeland, becoming a refugee in South Africa at thirteen. Systematically and with determination he set about adopting his new country, graduating from Wits with legal degrees and called to the Bar. A strong inclination towards human rights brought him into contact with the legal practice of Mandela and Tambo and he acted for many of their clients in the 1950s. His legal career is associated with all the major human rights trials in the decades of apartheid. Subsequently, he acted for the anc at the post-1994 constitutional hearings, and is on the staff of the Legal Resources Centre. Bizos has served as a temporary judge and was appointed an Ambassador of Hellenism in 2006. One of his primary concerns in this capacity is the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece. He is the author of No One to Blame? - In Pursuit of Legal Justice in South Africa, an account of five prominent trials, and his magisterial autobiography, Odyssey to Freedom, published in 2007.
