He returned to South Africa in 1992, amid the negotiations to end apartheid in South Africa. He became of director of the Institute for the Advancement of Journalism. He co-founded Baobab Press with Irene Staunton. He worked for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a member of its Human Rights Violations Committee.

He had kept a secret record of his experiences in prison on the pages of a Bible, and published Bandiet: Seven Years in a South African Prison in London in 1974 (the title Bandiet being Afrikaans for "bandit"). He also wrote the "Jafta" series of books for children and young adults. After being banned for many years, his 1974 prison memoir was republished in South Africa with new material in 2002, as Bandiet: Out of Jail, illustrated by Harold Strachan. It won the 2003 Olive Schreiner Prize, and Stones against the Mirror won the 2011 Sunday Times Alan Paton Award.
In London in the 1970s, Lewin discovered he had maternal Jewish ancestry, but he was not a practising Jew.
He joined the Liberal Party in 1959. Lewin was an anti-apartheid activist, and was imprisoned for seven years from July 1964 for his activities in support of the African Resistance Movement. Evidence was given against him by his friends and fellow activists Adrian Leftwich (who had been best man at Lewin's wedding) and John Lloyd. After serving the full seven-year prison sentence in Pretoria Central Prison, he was given a "permanent departure permit" and left South Africa in 1971.
