Mandela, Drakenstein ©Solange Hando
Mandela has passed away but hope must live on, for he left the world a better place than many of us ever imagined. As I looked up at this statue at the gate of the Victor Verster prison (now the Drakenstein Centre), I certainly felt a shiver down my spine. On the 11th of February 1990, this is where he walked to freedom, a man everyone had heard about but nobody had seen his face until that moment.
