He had been imprisoned by the South African government since 1962 on charges of sabotage and attempting to overthrow the government. Not surprisingly, this song couldn't be played freely in South Africa. Prisoner no 46664 was finally released in February 1990 and became State President of South Africa in 1994. - https://bit.ly/3AJren0", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
