Publisher's Synopsis
Tapping into the deep and expansive legacy of Madiba's life of struggle, Busani Ngcaweni and Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni's book, through an impressive and careful assemblage of a mixture of academics, activists and those who worked closely with him, skilfully and empirically demonstrate how Mandela embodied a rare type of leadership that is current missing in many parts of the world. The book displays a deep longing for ethical, committed, humanistic, decolonial and innovative, original and responsive leadership that Mandela's life of struggle and presidency represented.
