Letters to Zohra tells Ahmed Kathrada's exceptional life story, partly based on extracts from some of the more than 900 letters he wrote while being incarcerated at Robben Island and Pollsmoor Prisons at the time.

Ahmed Kathrada's niece, Zohra Kathrada, is a soft-spoken woman, leading a perfectly unremarkable, middle class life in Johannesburg. Yet she is far from being an ordinary South African. For many years, Zohra acted as the eyes and ears of Ahmed Kathrada while he was serving a life sentence at Robben Island and Pollsmoor prisons.

Visitors' parking is available at the Museum.

Entrance is free. To attend the screening, please RSVP to Mr Ricky Brecht at rickyb@sun.ac.za or 021 808 3660
