	Rivonia Trial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was named after Rivonia, the suburb of Johannesburg where 19 ANC leaders were arrested at Liliesleaf Farm, privately owned by Arthur Goldreich, on 11th July 1963.
		The trial brought in Nelson Mandela who was serving a sentence of 5 years on Robben Island already for leaving the country without a passport.
		After the Rivonia trialists were imprisoned the government rounded up further members of the ANC and in a trial known as Little Rivonia, chief of MK, Walter Mkwayi was sentenced to life imprisonment and joined Mandela and the other Rivonia trialists on Robben Island.

	RIVONIA: TELLING IT AS IT WAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The writer of this article, who was one of those arrested at Rivonia and spent nearly a year in detention and on trial, tells the story of this landmark in the history of our liberation struggle.
		Detention of suspects without trial had been written into the law, and the first victims had vanished into the silence of solitary confinement in police stations and prisons, from which rumours and evidence of persistent torture, sleep-deprivation and maltreatment filtered out.
		The Rivonia trial must become the platform from which to tell the whole story, as it really was.

	The Rivonia Trial \| Special reports \| The Observer
		The Rivonia Trial, named after the suburb of Johannesburg where sixteen leaders of the African National Congress had been arrested in July 1963, began on 26 November 1963.
		Mandela had a growing international reputation and the ANC sought to use the trial to win worldwide support and attention, hence Mandela's speech from the dock on April 20th which was delivered from his handwritten script.
		Mandela was described as "the fl pimpernel of South Africa, on trial in Pretoria with eight others on charges of attempting a revolution by violence".

		This trial began on November 26th last year after ANC and Umkhonto we Sizwe leaders had been arrested in July in the Johannesburg suburb of Rivonia, hence the trial's name.
		Mandela himself was in jail at the time, serving five years for illegally exiting South Africa two years ago to visit supporters abroad and to address the Conference of the Pan African Freedom Movement of East and Central Africa.
		The trial is expected to last at least another five weeks during which time the world's attention will be focused on this courtroom in South Africa.

		Crowds outside the court at the Rivonia Trial
		Over the next few years there were few acts of sabotage while the ANC worked on how they could infiltrate South Africa in the absence of an internal structure.
		At the end of the 1960s, new organisations and ideas would form to challenge apartheid, and in 1976 the world's attention would be drawn to South Africa again with the June 16 uprising in Soweto.

	On the Rivonia Trial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Sentences of life imprisonment have been pronounced on Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Ahmed Kathrada, Govan Mbeki, Dennis Goldberg, Raymond Mhlaba, Elias Motsoaledi and Andrew Mlangeni in the "Rivonia trial" in Pretoria.
		So carefully did they educate the people that in the four-yearlong Treason Trial, one police witness after another voluntarily testified to this emphasis on non-violent methods of struggle in all aspects of their activities.
		I appeal to all governments throughout the world, to people everywhere, to organizations and institutions in every land and at every level, to act now to impose such sanctions on South Africa that will bring about the vital necessary change and avert what can become the greatest African tragedy of our times.

		He helped set up the military wing, and when the Rivonia Trial happened, when Mandela and Sisulu were put on Robben Island, Joe was out of the country.
		We’re not going to be one of these countries that is going to waste years and years of time with retribution, with trials, with tribunals, with people being drug out of their houses in the middle of the night being beaten in the streets.
		And when you go to South Africa, you realize it is a miracle, is this truly remarkable achievement that’s happened there.
