Prithiraj — Pritz — Dullay, academic, artist, writer, human rights activist and stalwart of the Danish Anti-Apartheid Movement during his exile years, died in Aarhus, Denmark on February 27. Among the many who will fondly remember him are the survivors of the Dear Sir drama group initiated by Kush Mudau in Tanzania in 1981. He and Mala will also be remembered for having joined Barbara and myself in voicing to the authorities the concerns of many of the students about the administration and, in particular, the use of corporal punishment.
The Dear Sir one-act play had not been sanctioned by the Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College (Somafco) cultural committee, so workshops and rehearsals were held at night in the primary school. And when the roles had been cast, the mime sequences and dialogue finalised for a play set in the cells and yard of the Robben Island prison, there was no set. It was Pritz who came to the rescue with a simple, but extremely effective set. He also designed and handprinted the master copy of the programme for the premiere in the Somafco school hall.
It was a night not to be forgotten, with a standing ovation, particularly for the late Gandhi Maseko in the lead role. As a result, it was given an effective back-dated blessing by the authorities and subsequently toured both the Netherlands and Sweden.
On behalf of myself, Barbara and the surviving Dear Sir cast and helpers now scattered around South Africa, I send heartfelt condolences to Mala, Simmi and Sureka.

The liberal shithead! If he was in exile in Denmark, why did he not return to the Rainbow nation after 1994?
It is because he choose to live and raise his offspring in a European civilized environment!!

Rautem? Are you still the same racist SB thug who ran away to Perth? FYI: Pritz did return to Durban and made a considerable contribution in the academic sphere before retiring.

Of course he did. Because he thought that there might be some retribution and he and his buddy, Jack, certainly had enough bnlood on their hands. But, of course, there was none. The killers, torturers and assorted thugs aslong with their masters, largelk got off scot free, wherher they stayed in SA or buggered off to Perth.

Your grammar and syntax stinks mate…. You are allegedly a ‘journo’ yet just look at all the spelling mistakes in your posts.Has communist Russia not yet provided you with a ‘spell-check’? Or does it only work in Putin’s Mockba??
You are a ‘wet dream’ and a washed up relic of a journalist. I bet if it was not for your monthly stipend from National Intelligence – or whatever they call themselves these days – you would be standing at the few traffic lights in Fish Hoek begging for money for grog. (It is visible from your photographs as well as your posts that you are a total alcoholic.
Sorry I treated the “Bantu” so terribly, bringing medical services, education and electricity to your wretched shit-hole of a country.I should have just left it as we found it in 1652…

The reason I sometimes leave this sort of bigotry in the comments folder is in order to show other readers that such racist
— and usually fairly incoherent — rubbish sill exists among us. And, as per usual, that those who spew such bile hide behindd pseudonyms.
