Rowley Arenstein was an attorney and a Marxist. He was served the longest banning order in the history of apartheid.

Shawn Slovo is a screenwriter who lives in London. Her parents Joe Slovo and Ruth First were involved with the South African Communist Party and the African National Congress in the Struggle against apartheid.
