In Conversation With ...
One of the ways in which the Nelson Mandela Foundation is celebrating Madiba’s 90th birthday in 2008, is through a series of interviews with prominent South Africans and Africans, which aims to highlight the thoughts and perspectives of important African thinkers on the current state of South Africa, Africa, democracy and leadership, among other issues.
The series is being published simultaneously in City Press newspaper in South Africa, and in a longer format, on the Foundation’s website.
