NEWS

At Index on Censorship we have collected significant articles from our archive that trace the history of the apartheid struggle, and some of the great writers who have commented, argued and analysed it for our magazine, including Nadine Gordimer and Albie Sachs.

If Nelson Mandela’s legacy is summed up by one thing, it will be in symbolic moments, like the times when those “whites only” signs were torn down, no longer shouting that South Africa was a society where only its white people had opportunity, and aspiration, and when a reborn nation began its journey on a previously uncharted road to freedom.

Please browse them and remember the immense changes that Nelson Mandela helped make happen.

Reading amazing interviews with Albie Sachs and Oliver Tambo in the @IndexCensorship archive. @tashjoeza @SAGECQPolitics
