Produktbeschreibung

For millions of South Africans, Nelson Mandela's passing signalled the end of an era. Returning home to cover the story, journalist Azad Essa finds his countrymen looking a little lost, insecure of the future, even as they celebrate the life of a great man. Essa travelled around his native South Africa to track the mood of the nation.

The celebrations reminded him of contradictions he had seen elsewhere: India.
