Richmond

Living in the Shadow of Death

On 7 April 1997, Sifiso Nkabinde, the regional leader of the ANC in Richmond, was expelled from the party for being a police spy. A self-proclaimed warlord during the conflict in the area in the early 1990s, Nkabinde is believed to have been responsible for starting a small-scale civil war in Richmond after his expulsion, which left over 100 people dead.

In this book, Richmond’s mayor at the time, Andrew Ragavaloo, a committed member of the ANC whose life came to be under constant threat, gives his account of these events. The gripping and deeply moving narrative reads like a political thriller and stands as testament to the importance and fragility of our democracy. This extraordinary book is supplemented with photographs by award-winning photographer Joao Silva.
