Walter Max Ulyate Sisulu (18 May 1912 – 5 May 2003) was a South African anti-apartheid activist and member of the African National Congress (ANC), serving at times as Secretary-General and Deputy President of the organisation. He was jailed at Robben Island, where he served more than 25 years' imprisonment.〔(Obituary: Walter Sisulu ) - BBC News obituary, dated Monday, 5 May 2003〕 == Family and education == Sisulu was born in Ngcobo in the Union of South Africa. His mother, Alice Mase Sisulu, was a Xhosa domestic worker and his father, Albert Victor Dickenson, was white. Dickenson worked in the Railway Department of the Cape Colony from 1903 to 1909 and was transferred to the Office of the Chief Magistrate in Umtata in 1910.〔(Walter Sisulu - ANC Page )〕〔(David Beresford, "Walter Sisulu" (obituary) ), ''The Guardian'', 7 May 2003.〕 His mother was related to Evelyn Mase, Nelson Mandela's first wife. Dickenson didn't play a part in his son's upbringing, and the boy and his sister, Rosabella, were raised by his mother's family, who were descended from the Thembu clan.〔(Walter Sisulu ) ''Walter Sisulu''〕 Educated in a local missionary school, he left in 1926 to find work. He moved to Johannesburg in 1928 and experienced a wide range of manual jobs. He married Albertina in 1944; Nelson Mandela was his best man at their wedding. The couple had five children, and adopted four more. Sisulu's wife and children were also active in the struggle against apartheid. His son Zwelakhe Sisulu became a journalist and union leader, went on to found the ''New Nation'' (at the time South Africa's largest black newspaper), served as Nelson Mandela's press secretary, became CEO of the South African Broadcast Corporation, and later a business person. An adopted daughter, Beryl Rose Sisulu, served as ambassador from the Republic of South Africa to Norway.〔(Female ambassadors luncheon. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walter Sisulu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
