Join Jacana Media for the launch of Mokgomana: The Life of John Kgoana Nkadimeng 1927–2020 by Peter Delius and Daniel Sher.

Mokgomana tells the story of Nkadimeng, from his origins in the rural village of Manganeng, in an area with a long history of resistance to colonial rule, through his growing involvement in trade unions, the Communist Party and the ANC.

Mokgomana represents a new focus on an under-acknowledged leader and offers fresh perspectives on over four decades of struggle history. It is also the story of the family that supported him, enduring harassment and separation, and their own splintered trajectories through exile and homecoming.
