Robert McBride was sentenced to death for his actions, but says no operation took place without clearance from the presidency at the time
Robert McBride is not proud of causing deaths and injuries in a Durban restaurant bombing in 1986 but remains defiant that the attack was a collective one in the fight against apartheid.
“For me, the issue is [that] I cannot apologise for fighting against apartheid. On one level, as part of the resistance movement against a system that was regarded as a crime against humanity ... I can justify it in terms of the decisions taken by the ANC and put my political hat on. The book deals with McBride’s trial and his time on death row. Originally written in 1991, it has been updated to include McBride’s life after the end of apartheid.
