'There wasn't a single culture of exile' - author on the ANC in exile

Jennifer Sanasie discusses The Lusaka Years with author, Hugh MacMillan.

MacMillan speaks about how the ANC and discusses how its leadership managed to keep its people together and hopeful in a time of struggle and despair.

Living in exile was very difficult because many people would develop paranoia about who was trustworthy and who was a spy.

Loneliness was a big contributor to paranoia; even though members were with fellow cadres most were not able to communicate with their families.

Watch MacMillan tell us what he hopes you take away from his book.

The Lusaka Years is available at all good book stores.
