Abstract: | Revd Michael Scott was born in 1907 in southern England, the son of an Anglican clergyman. His faith propelled him into political activism. He became involved in southern Africa, and, identifying with the people of Namibia in their desire to be rid of South African rule, played an important role in Namibia's struggle for independence, amongst others by addressing the UN. He remained active on the Namibia issue even in his last years. Seven years after his death in 1983 Namibia became independent. Based, amongst others, on Scott's papers, this article looks at Scott's activities. Bibliogr., notes, ref. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
