The London Recruits storm the airways. Radio 4 has carried an interview with a number of the ANC "London Recruits", recruited from the Young Communist League in Britain to fight apartheid, which you can now listen to.
Click here to download (40MB) Radio 4’s Saturday Live podcast of Steve Marsling and Sean Hosey telling the story of their lives as undercover ANC "London Recruits". (Alternatively visit the Radio 4 website to listen to the interview). Their part starts at about 45 minutes into the programme.
Steve and Sean were both members of the Young Communist League. YCL London District Secretary Bob Allen recruited Steve, who in turn recruited Sean. On his second mission, in 1972, Sean was arrested in Durban, tortured, kept in solitary confinement, and jailed for five years under South Africa’s Suppression of Communism Act. In this interview, he gives a very moving account of his experiences.
