Helen Suzman: a lone voice for liberty

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: It is hard to imagine what it must have been like for Helen Suzman, an English-speaking Jewish woman, to pit herself against the massed majority of the National Party, most of whom were Afrikaner men. But she did it day in and day out. For 13 years she was the lone anti-apartheid voice in Parliament. She stood up and spoke out for her beliefs with a quiet authority that has echoed over the decades.
