The Zeroes1990 - The Release of Nelson MandelaJohn Carlin took over as South Africa Bureau Chief of the Independent in January 1989. Neither he, nor the journalist he replaced had any idea that within 13 months that Nelson Mandela would be released from prison, or that by the middle of the decade that South Africa would go from "the skunk of the world" to a global leader on peace-building and reconciliation.In this episode we listen to John recall what he witnessed from the front row of history, as he reported on the violent final years of the Apartheid regime and the unlikely foundation of The Rainbow Nation.John...
