I found out yesterday in the Cape Times that my uncle, Uys Krige, translated the Freedom Charter into Afrikaans in 1955. No one in the family knew until yesterday! Apparently the manuscript was confiscated by the police from Ben Turoks residence in 1956. Its resurfaced at Wits archives. Lovely pic of Uys (he looks just like my cousin Tai here) and a good article by Gava Kassiem in the Cape Times. Thanks Gava!
