Tembeka Ngcukaitobi on his book The Land is Ours

The book, The Land Is Ours, written by Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi tells the story of South Africa's first black lawyers, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book follows the lives, ideas and careers of Henry Sylvester Williams, Alfred Mangena, Richard Msimang, Pixley ka Isaka Seme, Ngcubu Poswayo and George Montsioa, most of whom were also members of the ANC. In an age of aggressive colonial expansion, land dispossession and forced labour, these men believed in a constitutional system that respected individual rights and freedoms, and they used the law as an instrument against injustice. Advocate Ngcukaitobi is in the studio to talk more about his book.
