Apartheid has ended but the work of building a just society for all in South Africa has only just begun...
The fall of apartheid was one of the most exciting events in recent history. The struggle against instutionalized injustice allowed heroes to come to the fore and brought great hope for the future.
Njongonkulu Ndungane shared in that fight for freedom. Here, he talks of his youth under apartheid and of his imprisonment on Robben Island, where he was made to build the prison that would later house Nelson Mandela. During his captivity, he came to realize that apartheid's end would not bring about a perfect society and that a new South Africa would need heroes of a different kind - those willing to challenge poverty.
'A World with a Human Face' is a call to South Africans and the international community to work together to overcome social injustice, averse economic forces and the weight of history to build a just society fit for all.
