'You empower yourself and then you reach out to others.' Uplifting
life lessons from one of the greatest leaders the world has ever
known... through the eyes of the grandson whose life he changed
forever. In his book Going to the Mountain, Ndaba Mandela shares
the story of his coming-of-age alongside South Africa's rebirth. It
is a remarkable journey, and one that took him from the violent,
segregated Sowetto ghettos to his grandfather's presidential home.
As a young boy, Ndaba was constantly shunted from place to place.
But at eleven years old he was unexpectedly invited to live with
his grandfather, Nelson Mandela, even though he had met him only
once before, during a prison visit. And, slowly, they built a
relationship that would affect both of them profoundly. Ndaba's
teenage years were complicated, but as he approached his
twenty-first birthday, Mandela decided that Ndaba was finally ready
to 'go to the mountain' - a test of courage during which you become
a man. At the end of this gruelling ritual journey, the elders of
the Mandelas' tribe gathered and Ndaba's grandfather was there, as
ever, to share his greatest life lessons. From Nelson Mandela,
Ndaba learned the spirit of endurance, the triumph of forgiveness,
the power of resistance and the beauty of reconciliation. And as
Mandela grew older, Ndaba had the chance to repay his grandfather's
love and support by demonstrating the ways in which he'd understood
all that he had taught him. Intimate and inspirational, Going to
the Mountain is a powerful reminder of how one person can impact
profoundly on another, and a testament to the awesome power within
us to change ourselves and our world.
