- Producer, Mpho Dintwa explores the life and those having been involved such as, Mac Maharaj, Andrew Mlangeni, Thato Mbeki just to mention a few, in activist Michael Kitso Dingake's life. Michael Kitso Dingake is a Botswana political activist and writer, born on the 11th February 1928 in a village called Bobonong and educated in South Africa. Dingake joined the African National Congress in 1952 and was elected ANC Alexandra Branch Secretary. His political career grew when elected ANC Johannesburg Regional Secretary in 1957. Then in 1959 he was appointed to the seven-member Transvaal Region of the ANC(underground); appointed member of the National Secretariat (to understudy the NEC) from 1962-1965. The documentary explores the contribution of non-South Africans to the liberation struggle such as Michael Dingake. In 1966 he was sentenced to 15 years on Robben Island for promoting the objectives of banned organizations, ANC and SACP. He was then released in 1985 and went to work at the University of Botswana. In 1992 he entered national politics, becoming vice president of the Botswana National Front in 1993 and entering the National Assembly as MP for Gaborone Central in 1994. Retiring from politics in 2004 he became a weekly columnist for the Botswana local newspaper Mmegi. Michael Dingake represents a number of lesser known but very important liberation struggle figures. The struggle against the apartheid is personified by internationally revered Icons such as Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Oliver Reginald Tambo, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and the late Ahmed Kathrada among others. The roles of the aforementioned individuals have been depicted in feature films and biopics repeatedly over the past 2 to 3 decades. These struggle heroes and heroines however existed side by side some of the most committed and reliable colleagues whose involvement hardly received any spotlight. Another angle that Mr. Dingake brings to the liberation struggle is the involvement of the regional bloc (SADC) in the fight against the oppressive regime in South Africa i.e. the key involvement of foreign nationals from neighboring countries in the struggle.
