Peter Niesewand (1944-1983) was a South African journalist and novelist who made significant contributions to journalism, particularly reporting on subjects in Rhodesia and Lebanon. Following his arrest for criticism against the Ian Smith government, he faced 73 days of solitary confinement but continued his work after being deported to the UK. Niesewand won the International Journalist of the Year award twice for his impactful reporting and covered major events like the Lebanese civil war and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. His last novel, 'Scimitar', drew from these experiences.
