South Africans Take Back Your Country - Graça Machel
"South Africa, it's in your hands. Stand up and take it...We should get to 2018, having some kind of clarity of who the new crop of leaders are," humanitarian and international advocate for women's and children's rights Graça Machel said during an event held in honour of her late husband, former statesman Nelson Mandela. Her comments come ahead of the African National Congress's National Elective conference where candidates will compete for the presidency of the ruling party.
