'Acknowledge the Past, Face the Present' – How Madiba's Legacy Lives on
Sputnik Africa
On December 5, we honor Nelson Mandela Day – a day dedicated to celebrating the legacy of one of Africa's most iconic leaders. In this special episode, we'll take a deep dive into the life and impact of Nelson Mandela, guided by insights from a distinguished South African political expert.
Nelson Mandela's teachings and principles are still relevant today, as one of "the things he taught us was to acknowledge the past, face the present and build a non-racial society", according to Prof. Ntsikelelo Breakfast, Senior Lecturer in the Department of History and Political Studies at the University of Nelson Mandela. In addition, due to Mandela's values, South Africa got "the opportunity" to be "branded as a democracy by introducing a new foreign policy that advocates for the respect of human rights".Apart from South African democracy, Mandela also "contributed to the architecture of democracy even in other parts of the globe".To hear what the expert has to say, check out the entire episode of the AfroVerdict podcast, brought to you by Sputnik Africa.In addition to the website, you can also catch our episodes on Telegram.► You can also listen to our podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Pocket Casts, Deezer, Podcast Addict and Afripods.► Check out all the episodes of AfroVerdict.

On December 5, we honor Nelson Mandela Day – a day dedicated to celebrating the legacy of one of Africa's most iconic leaders. In this special episode, we'll take a deep dive into the life and impact of Nelson Mandela, guided by insights from a distinguished South African political expert.
Nelson Mandela's teachings and principles are still relevant today, as one of "the things he taught us was to acknowledge the past, face the present and build a non-racial society", according to Prof. Ntsikelelo Breakfast, Senior Lecturer in the Department of History and Political Studies at the University of Nelson Mandela.
"The period of Mandela is a period of political transition to democracy. So he framed a discourse of democracy, a discourse of respect for human rights", the professor adds.
In addition, due to Mandela's values, South Africa got "the opportunity" to be "branded as a democracy by introducing a new foreign policy that advocates for the respect of human rights".
"That's why, for instance, we've taken a position regarding the conflict that is between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip, which is inspired by the thinking of a former president Mandela," Prof. Breakfast says.
Apart from South African democracy, Mandela also "contributed to the architecture of democracy even in other parts of the globe".
"Two weeks ago I was in the Middle East and there were some people that I came across. They were very happy about the role that we are playing internationally", Prof. Breakfast recalls.
