Patrick van Rensburg � The Passing of a Colossus

And there was Patrick himself- presumably to try and secure Linchwe’s support - an Afrikaner renegade and author of a recent London published Penguin Special, Guilty Land, which marked the start of his career as a prolific writer.

The book may also have marked the beginning of the world wide anti-apartheid movement. Thereafter I visited Swaneng fairly regularly because this was where everything was happening. Swaneng initially gained the government’s support but perhaps convinced that Patrick was bringing into this country a new form of Bantu education from South Africa, it veered away from TigerKloof and Swaneng and eventually settled on its preferred model, Maru-a-Pula.
