\u201cThe next building block should have been economic freedom. However, it is not his (Mandela\u2019s) fault that it was not done. It is the fault of the generation that followed him\u201d\n \nIn today\u2019s episode, Alan Kasujja sits down with Nelson Mandela\u2019s granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela.\n \nThey discuss a variety of issues including things the world probably doesn\u2019t know about the global icon, his political thinking and how he felt about the state of South Africa.\n \nThey also interrogate claims that Mandela \u2018sold out\u2019 by prioritizing racial reconciliation at the expense of economic freedom for the black majority.\n \nThis conversation forms part of a short series on Africa\u2019s intellectuals like Thomas Sankara, Julius Nyerere and Kenneth Kaunda.\n \nYesterday Alan spoke to Kwame Nkrumah\u2019s daughter, Samia Nkrumah.\n \nCheck it out if you haven\u2019t had a chance to listen to it.
