Above cartoon was drawn by Richard Pooler whilst we attended the National Union of SA Students annual conference in Cape Town in 1968. Richard alludes to my radicalism here. His prediction that I would be in prison 10 years hence was nearly correct. I was detained in 1975. Sadly Richard passed away a few years ago.
