Grandad Mandela

In 'Grandad Mandela', Zazi and Ziwelene Mandela engage in a heartfelt dialogue with their grandmother, Zindzi Mandela, about their great-grandfather, Nelson Mandela. The book explores Mandela's struggle against apartheid, his long imprisonment, and his eventual success in transforming South Africa into a democratic country. It's a personal and touching introduction to the life and legacy of one of the world's most iconic figures. Two great-grandchildren ask their grandmother 15 questions about the man they remember as Grandad, and the world remembers as Nelson Mandela, the global icon of peace and forgiveness who spent 27 years in prison. They learn that he was a freedom fighter who put down his weapons for the sake of peace, and who then became the President of South Africa and a Nobel Peace Prize-winner, and realise that they can continue his legacy in the world today. Seen through a child’s perspective, and authored jointly by his great-grandchildren and daughter, this amazing story is told as never before to celebrate what would have been Nelson's Mandela 100th birthday.
