After 18 months of recording the podcast in his spare room, Alan Kasujja is on the road with Africa Daily… and his first stop is Johannesburg. Alan wants to hear from people, out and about, and - as luck would have it – he’s arrived just in time for a special day: Nelson Mandela’s birthday, when the legacy of the former President and anti-apartheid hero is celebrated. As South Africa’s new President in 1994, Mandela faced the massive challenge of bringing black and white South Africans together. But not many people know that he started this task with those closest to him: his bodyguards. Alan speaks to a black former freedom fighter and a white former apartheid police officer – who both became his bodyguards and who hated each other at first – but who eventually became close friends. Presenter: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja) Guests: Jason Tshabalala and Gert Barnard
