Richard Rive was a South African writer born in 1931 in District Six, Cape Town. He focused on the realities of apartheid as experienced by non-whites in his works. Unlike many contemporaries, he chose to remain in South Africa and fought against apartheid. Many of his literary works were published in the 1960s, including short stories that highlighted the atrocities of apartheid. Rive published three novels and his autobiography. He was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and conducted research at Oxford University. His last novel was published posthumously after he was murdered in 1989.
