Nelson Mandela facts indicate that his foundation has intentions to publish a new book. According to the foundation's statements on Monday, they want to resume publishing a book that the very first black president of South Africa had started to write before he decided to leave office.
This new book will become a sequel to his first autobiography, which was entitled Long Walk to Freedom. Nelson Mandela facts state that he began writing his new autobiography entitled The Presidential Years back in 1998 and continued to work on it until 2002, which was when he presumably "ran out of steam."
Fortunately, his former colleagues only had to work on finishing the draft since he managed to come up with 10 handwritten chapters. In its first page, which was dated October 16th of 1998, the anti-apartheid hero started by talking about the fears, fragilities, and hopes of liberations all over the world.
The Nelson Mandela facts say, "Men and women, all over the world, right down the centuries, come and go. Some leave nothing behind, not even their names. It would seem that they never existed at all. Others do leave something behind: the haunting memory of the evil deeds they committed against other people."
It would appear that the book he wrote, before he died just last year at 95 years old, attacks the greed of former revolutionaries, according to a copy seen by Reuters a year ago.
Twenty years after the end of the white minority rule, some of the book's sections may tend to be very uncomfortable reading for the present leaders of his African National Congress or ANC, including President Jacob Zuma. Zuma is presently embroiled in a scandal over a $20 million upgrade, funded by taxpayers, to his private home.
According to the Nelson Mandela facts Foundation, they have been working with the ANC to finally publish his book.
