Emma Huismans (born 10 July 1947) is an Afrikaans writer, journalist, and activist born in the Netherlands.[1] At the age of five, her family moved to South Africa where she learned Afrikaans.[2] She was later a reporter for Crisis News. Her efforts against apartheid were complicated by her being white, Afrikaans, and lesbian. This is dealt with in her premier work Berigte van weerstand. (English translation: Reports of resistance)[3] After that, she wrote a few novels, but tended to do better in non-fiction. Her work is often deemed angry and frustrated with the difficulties of post-apartheid South Africa.[4]
