Alfred Hutchinson (1924 in Hectorspruit, Transvaal Province, South Africa – 14 October 1972 in Nigeria) was a South African author, teacher and activist. Hutchinson went to Swedish missionary school, graduated from St Peter's College in Johannesburg and received his BA from the University of Fort Hare. He was classified as coloured by the apartheid government, but saw himself as an African and dismissed the coloureds' struggle to be seen as a distinct people. He worked as a teacher, but was a member of the ANC, and was sacked and jailed for two weeks in 1952 for his struggle against apartheid. In 1956 he was charged with high treason, and fled to Britain via East Africa and Ghana. His autobiography Road to Ghana (1960) is about this experience. In 1964 he published the play The Rain Killer

  • Alfred Hutchinson, född 1924 i , Transvaal, Sydafrika, död den 14 oktober 1972 i Nigeria, var en sydafrikansk författare och lärare. Hutchinson gick i svensk missionsskola, tog studenten vid St. Peters i Johannesburg, och därefter en fil kand vid University of Fort Hare. Han klassades som färgad av apartheidregeringen, men såg sig som afrikan och ogillade de färgades kamp för att räknas som ett eget folk. Han arbetade som lärare, men var medlem av ANC, och avskedades och fängslades 1952 i två veckor för sin kamp mot apartheid. 1956 åtalades han för högförräderi, och flydde till Storbritannien via Östafrika och Ghana. Om detta handlar hans självbiografi Road to Ghana (1960). 1964 publicerade han pjäsen The Rain Killers. (sv)
