Ahmed Kathrada: SA communist anti-apartheid veteran tango uniform at 87

[BBC] Veteran South African anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Kathrada has died aged 87, his foundation says. It says Mr Kathrada passed away peacefully in a Johannesburg hospital "after a short period of illness, following surgery to the brain".

Along with Nelson Mandela, Mr Kathrada was among eight African National Congress activists sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964. They were convicted of trying to topple the white minority government.
Terrorism, sedition, murder...that sort of thing.
Apartheid was a legalised system of discrimination against non-white people introduced in South Africa in 1948.
