Description

Former South African President and Nobel Prize laureate Nelson Mandela has had a lot of literature written about him by various Authors. The late statesman’s life was more of a political than a family man until the last years of his life. Books like “Conversation with myself, Long Walk to Freedom and The Struggle is my life” are some of the books that better depict the life of Mandela. All the authors of Mandela’s life share the common idea that Mandela was a selfless struggle icon with pristine leadership qualities. In 2013 the book “Long walk to freedom” was translated into a film and received international audiences around the world.

But today our focus a little different, we want to focus on those individuals that have earned the fruits of the youth of 76’. To do so we are joined on the line by:

1. Mac Maharaj Mandela’s friend and Robben island prisoner

2. Mike Nicol Author

3. Sophie Mokoena SABC Foreign Editor
