James ニュース

日本 最新ニュース,日本 見出し

The late James Matthews has been described as a man who spoke truth to power.

The acclaimed writer and poet died at the age of 95 in Cape Town. Matthews was bestowed the National Order of Ikamanga in 2004 for his achievements in literature, journalism and commitment to the struggle for a non-racial South Africa.

A literary icon, Matthews was known as the dissident poet because of his ability to express the anger of those who battled against injustices during apartheid. “My father was a single parent raising four children and while he wasn’t always the best parent, he made up for it with his grandchildren. He absolutely doted on them and they loved him in return. Right from the beginning. he treated them all as individuals with respect and agency. He was very proud of them, especially the girls, they got the very best of him,” says his son Jimi Matthews.

Through his literary works, he became a leading voice in the struggle against apartheid. His collection, Cry Rage, and most of his subsequent work, were banned.
