One of the finest ever examples of prison writing from South Africa, Bandiet was originally released during Hugh Lewins exile, and published by Random House in 1978. Selected poems and journalism interspersed with line-drawings by another of Pretorias inmates, Jock Strachan, appear alongside a freshly typeset version of the complete text of the original book.
Alan Paton called Bandiet splendid and commented on its lack of rancour and exaggeration. He spoke of its truthfulness and its quality, and called it a document of great historical value.
