Surviving in the Apartheid Prison: Robben Island - Flashbacks of an Earlier Life

Inscribed by the author.

While working as a teacher at Trafalgar High School in Cape Town, Isaacs attracted the attention of the security police due to training some of his friends in the use of explosives. Following his appearance in the Supreme Court in Cape Town in 1964, he was found guilty of sabotage and sentenced to 12 years on Robben Island. For the first seven years, Isaacs was in Cell C1 (apart from the time when he was incarcerated in the punishment cells for bad behaviour), a study cell where the prison lights were a little brighter than the rest of the prison. When possible, he would tutor his fellow prisoners in mathematics. Isaacs completed a Bachelors degree in mathematics while on the island. He was released from Robben Island in September 1977. In 1990 he undertook a sabbatical in Germany where he completed his PhD. Dr Sedick Isaacs passed away on 18 October 2012 in Cape Town.
