Robert Noah is the father of Trevor Noah. He is a Swiss-German businessman and restaurateur who relocated to South Africa in 1980 to float an eatery in Johannesburg.<\/strong><\/p>\n Robert is also an activist who strongly opposed the apartheid regime in South Africa as he couldn\u2019t fathom how the Blacks can be so maltreated by the Whites in their native country. Having Trevor Noah with his baby mama, Patricia Nombuyiselo, posed a lot of threat to Robert\u2019s life in South Africa as the apartheid racial laws frowned against it. However, he managed to survive the ordeal and now enjoys a close relationship with his son in post-apartheid South Africa.<\/p>\n Robert Noah is not the type that courts public attention, thus, very little is known about his birth details and early life. However, we know that his real name is Robert Llyod and he is a Switzerland native and has Swiss-German heritage.<\/p>\n Nothing is known about Robert\u2019s date of birth, though he is speculated to be born sometime in the early part of the1930s. He traveled to South Africa during the 1980s when apartheid was still in full swing.<\/p>\n Arriving in South Africa, Robert met the worst of the apartheid regime which turned him into an activist. He didn\u2019t understand the then-political situation in the country and was totally averse to it. He was too compassionate towards the black citizens of South Africa and questioned why they should be oppressed in their own home country.<\/p>\n The Swiss-German was popular among the Blacks and offered them a lot of help during the notorious apartheid regime.<\/p>\n Robert Noah is listed as a professional chef who has worked in several countries, including Canada, the United States (New York to be precise), and South Africa.<\/p>\n When he landed on South African soil in 1980, he was in search of new opportunities to establish and run his restaurant. After he put down roots in Johannesburg, he opened a restaurant via a special license that enabled him to employ Blacks to work in his kitchen.<\/p>\n Robert\u2019s restaurant became one of the initial integrated eateries in Joburg during the apartheid regime. The special license he obtained before opening the restaurant allowed both Whites and Blacks to mingle and it gave the majority of the Black population a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n While there were Whites who didn\u2019t mind integrating with the Blacks at Robert Noah\u2019s restaurant, many others frowned at it and started plotting to bring his business down by writing petition after petition. The major reasons contained in those petitions were environmental violations and unhealthy practices.<\/p>\n This harsh judgment stemmed from the fact that Whites had always looked down on people of color and believed they should only ever be used in menial jobs and nothing more. Robert legally obtained special license notwithstanding, but the numerous petitions caught the attention of the authorities who sent inspectors into the restaurant to get hold of tangible reasons to finally shut it down.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, the inspectors\u2019 report only cited health violations; something Robert wasn\u2019t guilty of in the first place. They also insisted that the restaurateur creates separate restrooms for Blacks and Whites and since Robert Noah didn\u2019t want to adhere to their conditions, he just decided to close the eatery down.<\/p>\n During the 1980s when racial segregation was at its peak in South Africa, there were regions where Blacks were not allowed to live.
