NELSON MANDELA PLEDGES TO WORK ON BEHALF OF ALL SOUTH AFRICANS WHEN HE WAS RELEASED ON FEBRUARY 11 1990 BY SUBRY GOVENDER

AT A TIME IN JULY 2019 WHEN WE ARE CELEBRATING THE RICH LIFE OF OUR FREEDOM ICON, NELSON MANDELA, I AM PUBLISHING A RADIO DOCUMENTARY I COMPILED ON THE RELEASE OF NELSON MANDELA ON FEBRUARY 11 1990. RADIO, TELEVISION AND PRINT JOURNALISTS FROM SOUTH AFRICA AND ALL OVER THE WORLD HAD GATHERED IN CAPE TOWN TO CAPTURE THIS HISTORIC MOMENT WHEN MANDELA WAS RELEASED FROM POLSMOOR PRISON. MANDELA'S WIFE AT THAT TIME, THE LATE WINNIE MADIKIZELA MANDELA, AND A NUMBER OF HIGH-RANKING LEADERS OF THE UNITED DEMOCRATIC FRONT AND THE ANC HAD ACCOMPANIED HIM OUT OF POLSMOOR. THIS RADIO DOCUMENTARY CAPTURES THIS RELEASE AND HIS ADDRESS TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT THE GRAND PARADE IN CAPE TOWN. LET'S HOPE THOSE NEW POLITICIANS WHO ARE PROMOTING RACIAL HATRED AND GENOCIDE WILL LEARN FROM THE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF NELSON MANDELA.
