Ahmed Kathrada –
Commie, author, shit-stirrer.
August 29, 1929 – March 28, 2017.
Aged 87 years.
Most recognized for: Got thrown in the pokey with his buddy Nelson Mandela for trying to overthrow the South African government. Decades later, they were released and he served at President Mandela’s side. Since then he’s been awarded honorary doctorate degrees from a handful of American universities, including The University of Kentucky. So by default, he’s a Wildcat. Hate him now?
