In 1963, Hezekiel Kgosimang Mothupi left South Africa under the weight of apartheid.
What followed was a journey across continents, carrying the mission of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) wherever history demanded.
From Botswana to Tanzania, China to Ghana, Libya to Uganda, he advanced the cause of freedom and solidarity.
In Kenya, he led the United Nations refugee education department for Southern Africa — empowering exiled generations until 1990.
Hezekiel was among the first arrested and sent to Robben Island, where he endured the harshest attempts to silence the PAC. Even in exile, he remained committed, ensuring the safe return of Azanians and protecting the truth of the struggle.
I Was There... is his story — one of resilience, political clarity, and unbreakable resolve.
