NELSON MANDELA AND MEDIA FREEDOM IN THE NEW DEMOCRATIC AND NON-RACIAL SOUTH AFRICA By Subry Govender

At a time when South Africans and world at large are recalling the life of our freedom icon, Nelson Mandela, during this period in July 2019, I am privileged to bring you the voice of our freedom icon in a radio documentary on the importance of media freedom. This radio documentary was produced in 2008 at a time when a number of politicians and leaders of the ruling ANC had expressed views about restricting and curtailing the work of journalists.
