10 years after Mandela's death, South Africans between nostalgia and criticism
A decade after Nelson Mandela's death, South Africans reflect on his legacy with a mix of nostalgia and criticism. Mandela is remembered for his selfless leadership, but his successors, including Thabo Mbeki, Jacob Zuma, and Cyril Ramaphosa, have been associated with significant failures such as the AIDS crisis, corruption, and unresolved economic issues. The youth, including Anda Dilaza, express admiration for Mandela's values but are critical of subsequent leaders who have strayed from these ideals. The black population remains disproportionately affected by unemployment and poverty, and land redistribution post-apartheid has not been achieved. The Nelson Mandela Foundation encourages a critical yet balanced view of Mandela's legacy.

Union criticises employers for not registering domestic workers with UIF. But it’s not so simple
Four years after the Constitutional Court's Mahlangu ruling, domestic workers in South Africa still face challenges accessing compensation and unemployment benefits. Despite legal amendments and awareness campaigns, many employers have not registered domestic workers with the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (Coida) or the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF). The United Domestic Workers of South Africa (Udwosa) and other organizations criticize the Department of Labour for inadequate enforcement and a problematic UIF registration system. Workers fear job loss if they demand registration, and some face difficulties due to system inefficiencies and permit verification issues.

Mandela painting stirs controversy
Artist Ayanda Mabulu's latest artwork, featuring Nelson Mandela on a Nazi flag performing a Nazi salute, has sparked controversy and was removed from the FNB Joburg Art Fair for being too offensive. The Nelson Mandela Foundation called the piece deeply offensive and is considering further action against Mabulu. The Freedom of Expression Institute defended artistic creativity within constitutional freedom of expression, while Mabulu remained unapologetic, claiming Mandela failed to deliver on his promises to poor black South Africans. The painting has ignited heated debate on social media and talk shows.

It questions their credibility as leaders in social justice, contrasting them with more established figures like Nelson Mandela, Jacinda Ardern, and Greta Thunberg.

Mandela's private papers reveal heartache
The article discusses the release of 'Conversations with Myself', a book containing Nelson Mandela's private papers, which reveal his personal struggles and thoughts during his imprisonment. The Nelson Mandela Foundation has compiled letters, diaries, and recordings that shed light on Mandela's feelings of missing his family, his concerns about being idolized, and his views on corruption. Despite his global stature, Mandela expressed in the excerpts that he did not want to be seen as a saint. The book also touches on his relationship with his ex-wife Winnie and the personal sacrifices he made for the liberation struggle. Mandela, who is now 92 and retired from public life, is unlikely to comment on the book, which aims to foster a more nuanced understanding of his life.
