I Remember Nelson Mandela

Commissioned by Graca Machel, in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, I remember Nelson Mandela shares the memories of the ordinary men and woman whose working lives connected with Nelson Mandela. And while these are sometimes memories of the day to day, the what might be called 'insignificant', they shine much brighter than the usual because each one of these memories reflects the manifold characteristics of an extra-ordinary man. Many of the citizens of South Africa feel as though the lights have been dimmed, that corruption, stories of state capture, anger and protest have tarnished our hope for the nation. It is our wish that this little book will go some way to restoring hope as we too remember the man who brought such promise to all the peoples of this country.
