The liberation struggle in South Africa ended apartheid and the last stronghold of colonialism in Africa. This struggle attracted the support of many African countries that contributed and helped the oppressed people of South Africa towards free elections. Nigeria is among the countries in Africa that contributed some of the most significant assistance to the anti-apartheid movement. As democracy and majority government replaced apartheid in South Africa, many young South Africans (the so-called 'born free') are not aware of the contributions of Nigeria in the history of the liberation struggle. The book blames this ignorance on a deliberate policy of silence by the government and media in South Africa.
