The fourth of eight programmes Barney Pityana
For an intelligent black man in South Africa, confrontation with authority is unavoidable. After a lifetime of banning orders, prison sentences and frustration, BARNEY PITYANA helped Steve Biko to found the Black Consciousness Movement. When Biko was killed in prison, Pityana was in solitary confinement. When he was released he decided that the only way to help gain freedom for his fellow blacks was to leave behind family, friends and country and flee into exile.
