Cape Argus
|July 16, 2025
EVERY July, South Africa comes alive with heartfelt tributes to one of its greatest heroes, Nelson Mandela.

Mandela Month not only celebrates his indomitable spirit and lifelong commitment to social justice but it also serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact he left on the world.
One of the most meaningful ways to honour his legacy is through literature.
Over the years, countless authors have captured Mandela’ life, struggles and the values he stood for in words that continue to inspire.
In recognition of Mandela's unwavering belief in education and empowerment, here is a selection of profound books that explore his story, his philosophies and the broader context of his fight against apartheid.
Through these pages, Mandela's legacy continues to breathe, offering timeless lessons on courage, forgiveness and humanity.
Whether exploring his towering political achievements or his tender family bonds, these books ensure that his story - and the ideals he championed - remain alive in our hearts and minds.
DARE NOT LINGER: THE PRESIDENTIAL YEARS
Among Mandela's own works, Dare Not Linger: The Presidential Years stands out as essential reading.
Coauthored with acclaimed writer Mandla Langa, this book builds on an unfinished memoir Mandela began after his presidency, drawing richly from his drafts, personal notes and archival material.
Langa’s thoughtful stewardship brings Mandela's words to life, crafting oir, enabling him to delve deeper than ever into Mandela's private and public worlds.
