Gandar, Laurence Owen Vine

▪ 1999

      South African newspaper editor whose antiapartheid articles in 1965 introduced investigative journalism to South Africa by revealing the dreadful prison conditions faced by blacks; he crusaded for economic integration and took the then revolutionary step of referring to blacks as "Africans" instead of as "natives" (b. Jan. 25/28, 1915, Durban, S.Af.—d. Nov. 14, 1998, Pietermaritzburg, S.Af.).
