On the documentary - 'Dear Mandela'

Thank you for the interview Dear Mandela (http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/comment/46432).

The topic of the documentary-in-making hits a very painful nerve: the tragic social crisis in post-Apartheid South Africa. It is indeed the poorest of the poor who do not get real opportunities to change their lifestyle. They are so often denied adequate access to safe and healthy living space or proper official representation, despite the apparent window dressing orchestrated by the ruling government. I hope this project, Dear Mandela, is completed soon. May the full length documentary be shown to many viewers so that its message can disseminate an unpleasant truth about our country's poor. Hopefully it will open the eyes of many to the sad state of poverty of too many of my country's men and women and awaken a national conscience to act against the suffering of many like those reflected in this film. We need to redress past wrongs in my country, not repeat them!
