During apartheid South Africa, it was not strange to witness a writer who belongs to the race of the white oppressor depicting daily prejudices, but to see how much inextricably as a part of the struggle in South Africa this writer regards himself. Yet, questionable during this period is his enormously evasive position since he believed that it was his responsibility to act against the government to get rid of its burdens even though he was everything for both fronts of the struggle, the government and the black majority, but an adherent. Everything seemed to undermine his efforts even the dominant mode of writing. The main concern of this paper is to provide briefly an account of some of the hardships the dissenting white writer faced during apartheid South Africa despite the privileges accorded by his light skin.
