@newslionsa: “You don’t have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights.” In this 1961 interview, Nelson Mandela makes the case for one person, one vote and political independence, while insisting that South Africa had room for all races. More than six decades later, the clip is a reminder that democracy is not only about institutions, but about whether ordinary people are recognised as having equal p*litical worth. What does this moment tell us about how rights are won, defended and remembered? #NelsonMandela #AfricanHistory #Democracy #SouthAfrica #PanAfricanism
