Enuga Sreenivasulu Reddy (1924-2020) powered the powerful international solidarity for the epic anti-apartheid movement and was a hero of the liberation struggle of South Africa. ES was the moving spirit behind the United Nations’ Centre Against Apartheid from the 1960s to the 1980s. He devoted his later years to writing extensively on the struggle against Apartheid, Gandhi’s philosophy of Satyagraha and non-violence and India - South Africa relations. He was a rare individual from one country (India) who dedicated his life to the liberation struggle of another country (South Africa).
