On His 95th Birthday, the Story of Nelson Mandela's Struggle Told Outside His Old Soweto Home

On His 95th Birthday, the Story of Nelson Mandela's Struggle Told Outside His Old Soweto Home

As the world marks the 95th birthday of Nelson Mandela,
South Africa’s first black president and a beloved symbol
of the country’s struggle to end apartheid, longtime South African activist Trevor Ngwane takes Democracy Now! 
on a tour of the township of Soweto. Speaking outside of Mandela’s former home, Ngwane recalls when the ANC leader was first captured, leading to a 27-year imprisonment before
his release in 1990. Ngwane was active in the struggle against apartheid that culminated in Mandela’s 1994 election and today remains a leading South African voice for human rights.
