Neville Alexander was convicted in 1964 for conspiracy to commit sabotage and sent to Robben Island for ten years. During this time, he became teacher and lecturer to fellow prisoners.

After his release, he became involved in the fight against P.W. Botha's tricameral constitution and in 1979 wrote a book called "One Azania, One Nation", which was banned.
