Publications | 90 NELSON MANDELA YEARS
In numerous biographies, authors have over the years, profiled the extraordinary achievements of Mr Nelson Mandela with an authoritative voice. What makes 90 The Nelson Mandela Years entirely different is the fact that it is written not with just one voice – ours – but with the voices of a cross-section of the most inspiring South Africans; each of whom were asked to express - in their own words - what Mr Nelson Mandela has meant to them. This bringing together of personal messages from so many makes the book an inspiring testament to Mr Nelson Mandela’s influence in the corporate and diplomatic sphere.
