Tribute to Vincent Kolbe

It is with great sadness that we learnt that Activist, Librarian and Musician, Vincent Kolbe, passed away on 3 September after a long battle with cancer.

We wish to pay tribute to him for his contribution to librarianship and the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa.

Archie Dick speaks of his contribution in the piece: Librarians and readers in the South African Struggle:
