The Canon Collins Trust is hosting the online auction which also includes sports memorabilia signed by Springbok greats, cricketer Gary Kirsten, Manchester United's David de Gea, Protea cricket players and tennis player Alexander Zverev.
According to the trust, Collins started a Treason Trial Fund in 1956 to help pay for the defence of 156 anti-apartheid leaders accused on four counts of treason. “The Canon Collins Trust is steeped in the history of the struggle, with our founders supporting the freedom movement for decades before,” he said.“It has the original signatures of Mandela, Kathrada and all, and is clearly a genuine and fascinating slice of history. We want it to free up some funds to support future leaders in the struggle for social justice.”The price tag is R34,000.
A white rugby jersey signed by six Springbok greats including Victor Matfield, Bryan Habana, Tendai Mtawarira, John Smit, Jean de Villiers and Percy Montgomery is also on auction. The bid threshold is set at R50,000.
