SYLVESTER STEIN was born in South Africa 25 December, 1920. After serving in the navy during the Second World War he worked as a reporter for the Rand Daily Mail, eventually becoming political editor. He took over the editorship of Drum in 1955, spending the following three years there until political conditions forced him and many of his staff to flee South Africa. He settled in Great Britain in 1957 just before the publication by Fabers of 2nd Class Taxi.
