Marching to Slaveryby Dr Sipo E. MzimelaSipo Elijah Mzimela was born on 19 June 1935, in Durban, Natal (now kwaZulu-Natal) to Allison & Maria Mzimela. The entire family was raised as Anglicans and as a child, he wanted to become a priest.
He obtained a degree from the University of South Africa that enabled him to teach.
He joined the African National Congress (ANC) and became involved in political protest againstApartheid.
He left South Africa in1962 and went into exile to several African countries, Czechoslovakia and Germany. While living in Germany he married his first wife, Esther, and they had two daughters, Nomusa and Lindie.
Eventually Mzimela moved to the United States to study for his Master of Divinity degree at the General Theological Seminary. After being ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1976, he obtained a PhD in Ethics at New York University. He eventually settled in Atlanta and became an assisting priest at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church.
Mzimela had a beautiful singing voice and he even cut a record in 1978, co-produced with Abdullah Ibrahim, titled Liberation: Freedom Songs .
He lived in New York for 10 years and served as the ANC representative to the United Nations.
In 1990, Mzimela returned to South Africa after 29 years in exile and much to his family’s surprise, suddenly joined the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP).
The IFP’s Constitution was amended in 1995 so that he could be appointed as the IFP’s national deputy chair. This put him directly in the line of succession to the national chair, Frank Mdlalose.
He participated in the drafting of the first constitution for a democratic South Africa. After the elections, Mzimela was appointed Minister of Correctional Services in the South African government of national unity under Nelson Mandela, from 1994 to 1998.
It was under Mzimela’s direction that Robben Island, the primary political prison in South Africa, was closed. He also advocated for an instituted juvenile correctional facilities to protect incarcerated children from adult inmates.
However, following a spectacular falling-out with IFP leader Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, Mzimela was expelled from the IFP in 1999. An IFP disciplinary hearing, held in Cape Town, found Mzimela guilty of bringing the party into disrepute.
Mzimela continued in parliament, briefly as a United Democratic Movement representative, until he officially retired from politics in 2001. Mzimela moved back to Atlanta, USA in 2002, where he served as an associate priest at St Bartholomew’s Church. He also taught in the Religious Studies Department at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta.
He authored three books, Apartheid: South African Nazism, Wither South Africa and Marching to Slavery.
Sipo Elijah Mzimela, died on 2 February 2013 at Odyssey Hospice in Decatur (Atlanta), Georgia.

Nasturtiums with "La Danse".
Oil on Canvas 1912, by Henri Matisse, French.
Pushkin Museum Moscow
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Aug 21 - Oct 5 1986
Size
92.8 cm x 53.3 cm-Rolled up not folded
Matisse's representations of his studio often include glimpses of other
artwork. Here he depicts the left half of his large canvas, Dance I
(1909, Museum of Modern Art, New York). The carefully arranged furniture
in the foreground flattens the pictorial space. The back leg of the
tripod sculpture stand appears to rest in the grass of the painting
behind it. Similarly, the chair in the left corner is placed so that
the top rung of its back extends a horizontal purple stripe across the
canvas. In a simpler version of this composition (Pushkin Museum,
Moscow), this stripe denotes the area of wall visible between Dance I
and the studio floor.https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/483301
