Last night 9 July 2013, Sir Bob Hepple, launched his book Young Man with a Red Tie – a Memoir of Mandela and the Failed Revolution 1960-1963. The key note speaker was Ahmed Kathrada who provided an interesting and thought provoking insight into the book and its importance. Sir Bob Hepple then spoke about why he wrote the book. He told the audience that the book was drawn from notes that he wrote following his arrival in the UK about what transpired between 1960 and 1963. He then went on to recall that Joe Slovo had actually prompted him to write down and record the events of the period so as to ensure that he would not forget or become blurred by time.
