Born out of a desire to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela from the children of South Africa, 'The Children's Mandela' is a compilation of the best of 40 000 answers to 25 questions about the man who went from prisoner to president in their childhood years. This title is a delicious testament to how one man has helped a nation traverse incredible racial, religious and cultural divides. More than that, it gives us a poignant insight into how South Africa's past lives on in its present. Ask one child what's important to avoid and the answer is 'littering'. Ask another, and it's those who abuse children. The title is a rich tapestry of the dreams and prayers for a man whom few have met but all seem to know. Why else would one child want to give Nelson Mandela a car so that "he doesn't have to catch a lift in the back of other cars" and another would simply "give him a break". Now, black or white, rich or poor, South Africans are united by one love for the man held captive on a remote island for 27 years. A humble African farm boy who became our beloved leader and will forever be remembered as a grandfather, father, friend and mentor. Amandla nawe Tata. Strength with you father.
