History
Historical note relating to Radio ANC, as remembered by Lionel S. Gray. Being a member of the South African Communist Party since 1962, and a Lecturer of Physics at the University of the Witwatersrand, he was approached by the African National Congress (ANC) and the South African Communist Party (SACP) to develop a radio transmitter. One of his radio transmitters was found at Liliesleaf Farm during the raid in 1963 and subsequently became an exhibit in the Rivonia Trial 1964.
