Anderson Khumani Ganyile was born in the Bizana district of theTranskei in 1936 and educated at Lovedale. He was expelled from Fort Hare in early 1960 for political activities and returned home to play a leading role in the 1960 Pondoland revolt against Bantu Authorities. Banished to a remote area, he es­caped to Basutoland but was kidnapped by South African police inside the Basutoland (nowLesotho) border in August 1961. Following a series of legal actions in South Africa and protests by the British government, he was allowed to return to Basutoland. A study of the Ganyile case by Jeffrey Butler appears in Politics in Africa: Seven Cases (1966), edited by Gwendolen Carter.
