Nelson Mandela hid out in his house while the apartheid army searched for him. Then he served hard time in jail with Mandela and other heros of the anti-apartheid freedom struggle, and was a member of the African National Congress.

Today, some of those same South African radicals are opposing a lawsuit that he -- * Dennis Brutus * -- and others have brought in U.S. Federal Court in New York, which seeks to hold multi-billion dollar corporations accountable for their collaboration with apartheid and profiteering off of slave labor.
