THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIVE ON ROBBEN ISLAND

Banter, Pastimes and Boyish Tricks.

Fred Khumalo. Paddy Harper. Gugu Kunene

Twenty years after the closure of the Robben Island prison, former Islanders reminisce about their  past. 'The lighter side of Life on Robben Island' is a collection of anecdotal conversations that reveal the lighter side of life on the iconic struggle symbol Robben Island prison. It offers a peek into a different side of prison life; how political prisoners coped with the drill of a monotonous existence and how, with the march of time, their experiences have become a subject of comic relief among themselves. The stories range from their sporting activities to music, fashion, politicking and inevitably, their love lives, both real and imagined, of men locked up on one of the most notorious prison islands in the world.
