Ronnie Kasrils and Barry Feinberg also edited Dear Bertrand
Russell, a collection of letters between Russell and the general
public, whilst they both lived in London as political exiles from
South Africa.
Kasrils was a member of the armed-wing of the African National
Congress and became its head of military intelligence in 1983. He
later became Deputy Minister of Defence in Nelson Mandela's
government (1994-99); then held the portfolio of Minister Water
Affairs & Forestry (1999-2004) before becoming Minister for
Intelligence Services (2004-08) after which he resigned from
government. He has since devoted himself to writing, public
speaking and international solidarity work, with much attention to
the Palestine issue. He has written a memoir, Armed & Dangerous
(Jonathan Ball), and The Unlikely Secret Agent (Jacana Media) which
won the Alan Paton Award for best non-fiction in South Africa in
2010. Kasrils lives in Cape Town and remains a close friend of
Barry Feinberg.
Barry Feinberg worked with the African National Congress and,
together with Ronnie Kasrils, became a founding member of Mayibuye,
a music and poetry ensemble which traveled Europe galvanizing
opposition to the apartheid regime. Between 1966 and 1975 he headed
the work in organizing the archives of Bertrand Russell. He later
led the informational division of the International Defence & Aid
Fund (IDAF), which produced and distributed productions and
publications about apartheid. His publications include a volume of
his poetry, Gardens of Struggle, an early-reader biography of
George Pemba, Painter of the People, and most recently his memoir
Time to Tell: An Activists Story.
