Arthur Goldreich dies at 82
Source: Times Live

Born in Johannesburg in 1929, Goldreich moved to Israel to fight in the Arab-Israeli war as part of an elite underground Jewish army.

He returned to South Africa in 1954 and won South Africa's Best Young Painter Award the following year for his figures in black and white.

Goldreich and lawyer Harold Wolpe bought Liliesleaf farm in Rivonia, Johannesburg, in 1961 as headquarters for the underground Communist Party. The house was used as a place of refuge for former president Nelson Mandela and other freedom fighters.

Mandela moved to the farm in October 1961, using the alias of a gardener and cook named "David Motsamayi" to hide away from police.
