Marius Kleynhans worked as a political jounalist with the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation) until 1990. He spent much of this period in both Washington and London. In 1990 he was invited to join the Constitutional Development Service as communication advisor to the constitutional negotiations. He stayed with the CDS until after the first national elections. He first met President Nelson Mandela in April 1990. He advised him and others until 1995. The following is sourced from Wikipedia: Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (1918 – 2013) was a South African anti-apartheid activist and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was South Africa's first black President. Mandela was a controversial figure for much of his life. Denounced as a communist terrorist by critics, he nevertheless gained international acclaim for his activism, having received more than 250 honours, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize (which he shared with F. W. de Klerk), the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Soviet Order of Lenin." "South Africa's first black President, who personifies the struggle for human rights and racial equality, recounts his life. It is an epic tale with a triumphant ending that would scarcely have been credible just a few years ago: from a traditional Tembu childhood, through political activism, the founding of the African National Congress, life imprisonment for treason and violent conspiracy, 27 years behind bars, to release in 1990 and the first multi-racial elections in 1994. Mandela is clear, eloquent and inspiring in this deeply moving testament to idealism, charity and hope." (Kirkus Review, UK). Hard Cover. Book Condition: Very Good +. Binding: Black Boards.
