The Final Push

Chabopye Freddy Pilusa grew up in the dusty village of Ramotshinyadi in present day Limpopo Province surrounded by a community living in abject poverty and hopelessness. A young Chabopye finds himself in the thick of the struggle against apartheid in the 1980's. Opposition to apartheid exposes him to constant harassment, detention and torture. This story is a triumph of spirit over adversity typical of young activists of his era. The story recognises the role played by rural activists in the journey towards freedom in South Africa.

"Freddy gives us a peep into the heart of darkness and the unprecedented heroism that was necessary to bring an end to apartheid's evil. He tells a story that must be told a million times, passed down from one generation to the next, in a never ending relay of life so that future generations may not take this freedom for granted, or the heroes, heroines and heroic feats that brought it about" - Malusi Nkanyezi Gigaba: Minister of Public Enterprises Republic of South Africa ANC Youth League President (1996-2004)
