Dube, Founding president of the ANC","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Dube is a revered and important figure in the history of South Africa. He was a leading member of the educated African elite in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a clergyman and teacher, the founder of Ohlange Institute near Durban (where Nelson Mandela cast his vote in the first democratic elections of 1994) and the first president of the ANC. In this splendid biography, Heather Hughes traces the story of his life, uncovers much about the man and his world that has been either hidden or forgotten, and restores him to his rightful place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Heather+Hughes\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eHeather Hughes\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Heather Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382564634787,"sku":"9781770098138","price":340.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781770098138_144642da-a980-4551-b7a4-92c333f33867.jpg?v=1776571037","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781770098138","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
