Africa Daily is on the road in Africa… first stop: South Africa. And Alan has arrived just in time for Mandela day – a celebration of the former president’s birth. When Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s first democratically elected president in 1994, he was a hero in his own country, and an inspiration across the world. But 28 years after the fall of apartheid, some, particularly those who are younger than 28, are beginning to question Mandela’s legacy. The South Africa of today is struggling with high poverty levels, shortages of clean water and disruption of its electricity supply. Eight million people are jobless, in a country of 60 million. Today, for Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja is Johannesburg and brings together people from across the generations in Mandela’s former home. He hears from some young people who blame his political decisions for some of the country’s current problems…and those who say he’s still their hero. Presenter: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja)
