One Day in Bethlehem

By (author): Jonny Steinberg. Jonny Steinberg tells the story of Fusi Mofokeng, wrongly convicted as an accomplice after armed men attacked police officers near Bethlehem in South Africa's Free State — despite his only connection being a relative among the actual perpetrators. Mofokeng served 19 years in prison before his 2011 release, emerging to a changed world having lost his parents and brother while incarcerated, and continued fighting through the courts for a presidential pardon. Through his story, Steinberg examines injustice, resilience and South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy.
