A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Nelson Mandela was born in the Transkei, South Africa, on July 18, 1918. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party’s apartheid policies for many years before being arrested in August 1962. Mandela was incarcerated for more than twenty-seven years, during which time his status as a potent symbol of resistance to apartheid grew steadily. Released from prison in 1990, Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and was inaugurated as the first democratically elected president of South Africa in 1994. He is the author of the international bestseller Long Walk to Freedom. He died on December 5, 2013, at age ninety-five. You can sign up for email updates here.
Mandla Langa was born in 1950 in Durban, South Africa. After being arrested in 1976, he went into exile and has lived in Botswana, Mozambique, and Angola—where he did his Umkhonto weSizwe (the armed wing of the African National Congress) military training—as well as in Hungary, Zambia, and the United Kingdom, where he was the African National Congress’s cultural representative. A writer and journalist, he was the first South African to be awarded the Arts Council of Great Britain bursary for creative writing, and he has been a columnist for the Sunday Independent and The New Nation. In 2007 he was the recipient of the presidential Order of Ikhamanga in Silver for his literary and journalistic contribution to democracy in South Africa. He is also the author of several acclaimed novels, including The Lost Colours of the Chameleon, which won the 2009 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best Book in the African region. You can sign up for email updates here.
Graça Machel was born in Gaza, Mozambique, in 1945. She was a member of the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO), which fought for and won independence from Portugal in 1975. A teacher, a human rights activist, an international advocate for women’s and children’s rights, and a politician, she was—from 1975 until his death in 1986—married to Samora Machel, the first president of Mozambique. She married Nelson Mandela on his eightieth birthday, in July 1998. Among numerous awards for her humanitarian work, she was a recipient of the United Nations Nansen Medal in 1995, and in 2007 she was made an honorary Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

back endpaper: Nelson Mandela Foundation, photograph by Ardon Bar-Hama.
Front endpaper image: From chapter six of Mandela’s memoir on his presidential years, he reflects on being brought before the Constitutional Court. A staunch advocate of the democracy’s new laws under its Constitution, he writes: ‘In the new South Africa there is nobody, not even the President, who is above the law, that the rule of law generally and, in particular, the independence of the judiciary should be respected.’ (See here)
Back endpaper image: From an early draft of Mandela’s memoir of his presidential years, he describes the world’s reaction to South Africa’s first democratic elections in April 1994: ‘The world, aware of the formidable challenges facing the first democratically elected government, hailed us as a miracle nation and threw open its previously closed doors to all South Africans, irrespective of their ethnicity and background.’
