Apart from Long Walk to Freedom, this is undoubtedly the most important book about Mandela’s life that has, or possibly ever will be, published. Created and produced by PQ Blackwell, and written by five talented and award-winning authors and researchers, in collaboration with two of Mandela’s closest living comrades from Robben Island, it will be the definitive portrait of this great man’s life. It features the most complete collection of images ever assembled, and contains 60 original interviews with international and South African figures, such as Bill Clinton, Bono, Tony Blair, Thabo Mbeki, George Bizos, Sir Richard Branson, Sydney Poitier, Helen Suzman, and Muhammad Ali to name but a few. The foreword is by Kofi Annan, and the introduction by Desmond Tutu. Mike Nicol, has written the 40,000 word narrative biography, and the interviews were conducted by Professor Tim Couzens, Dr Rosalind Coward, and South African journalist Amina Frense. Mac Maharaj and Ahmed Kathrada, former Robben Island inmates and close friends of Mr Mandela, have acted as editorial consultants for this book, which is fully authorised and has been written and researched with the assistance of Mandela, his family and friends. The book features many quotes, personal documents and intimate letters from Mandela to his friends and family, and over 250 photographs, many never before published, and some specially commissioned for the book.

Two-hours of equal opportunity satire, in which South Africans can laugh at themselves, and celebrate the unique miracle of the Rainbow Democracy. And in the middle of it all is Mrs. Evita Bezuidenhout, the most famous white woman in South Africa, presenting her unique brand of designer-democracy and African Renaissance chic!

Rugby World Cup 1995: The Final

South Africa vs. New Zealand 24 June 1995 Ellis Park, Johannesburg.
It was a dramatic day in the short history of the new South Africa. The hosts were given little chance against the might of the All Blacks who had steam-rollered their way past England in the semi-finals.
Even the most ardent Springbok supporters might have wished it in their hearts, but not possibly have believed it in their minds.
With the feelings of 44 million hearts behind them, South Africa achieved their goal in the most dramatic circumstances. Relive the whole match, including the unprecedented 20 minutes extra time.
Relive the whole extraordinary experience.

Mandela The Living Legend (BBC)
Format: DVD
Duration: 60 min.
Zone: 2
Revealing a truly extraordinary man, this is the story of Nelson Mandela as seen through his own eyes and the recollections of both famous and ordinary people who have played a part in his life. This two-part documentary follows Mandela over six months as he goes about his day-to-day duties in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, from filming a television campaign to hippo-watching on safari with close friend Bill Clinton. In a series of exclusive interviews, Mandela talks about his early days in the Transkei, about his five ‘mothers’ and the day he ran away from home to avoid an arranged marriage; about boxing and dancing; and about the decision to use violence to bring down the white government of South Africa. On Robben Island he looks back at the good and bad times: how prison changed him, and how singing and schooling kept him going. He talks about the challenges of the presidency, about his ‘retirement’ and the issues he’s determined not to ignore. This programme is a spellbinding tribute to one of the great men of the twentieth, and the twenty-first century.
