The Nelson Mandela Foundation has said the late statesman's identity book, set to be auctioned along with almost 100 of Madiba's personal items, should be protected by heritage authorities. Auction house Guernsey's has advertised the sale for Monday, 22 February, after a court ruling cleared the way for the items to be sold. Nearly 100 items linked to Mandela are set to be auctioned, including his identity book, shoes, shirts, glasses, and even his hearing aids. The Nelson Mandela Foundation's acting chief executive, Professor Verne Harris, said that Madiba "had no in-principle objection" to his belongings being auctioned off for fundraising initiatives. "He himself donated items for this purpose many times. The foundation still has in its custody a few artefacts given to it by Madiba specifically for this kind of fundraising," he said. Harris said that one of the issues that needed to be considered in the "analysis of a fundraising auction related to Madiba", was the heritage value of the items. "Do any of the items possess an overarching South African heritage value which would place them under the protections afforded by heritage legislation? "In terms of the auction and the items currently under discussion, we have not had access to the artefacts themselves nor to the kind of detailed contextual evidence required to support clear-cut answers to these questions," he added. However, Harris said that the foundation believed that Mandela's ID book had heritage value. "One artefact that we did have access to through Madiba in the past and for which we have significant contextual information is Madiba's 1993 identity document. We believe it to be self-evident that this item requires the protections afforded by South Africa's heritage legislation," he said. News24 previously reported that the SA Heritage Resources Agency (Sahra) had sought an interdict to prevent Mandela's eldest daughter, Makaziwe Mandela, selling the former president's personal belongings. However, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria dismissed Sahra's application. News24 was unable to reach Makaziwe at the time of publication. Listed price for ID book is R1.4m Sahra spokesperson Yazeed Sadien said some of the items on auction were still "the subject of the ongoing legal proceedings" and that the agency would continue to challenge the auction. A date for the continuing legal proceedings has yet to be set. Guernsey's director Susan Jaffe would not be drawn on the pending legal action. Instead, she said that it was "premature" to have an interview with News24 or address News24's questions. Sadien added that in 2022, a similar auction was suspended at the request of Sahra, due to the ongoing legal proceedings. The auction catalogue describes one of the items as Mandela's "personal and only legitimate identification book in post-apartheid South Africa", which was issued in February 1993, about three years after his release from prison. He received a smart ID card in 2013, months before his death. The listed price for the ID book is $75 000 (R1.4-million), according to the catalogue. The sale of the items will reportedly fund the creation of the Mandela Memorial Garden around Madiba's grave in Qunu, Eastern Cape. News24 previously reported that Mandela's grandson, Ndaba Mandela, had slammed his aunt's plans to auction off the former president's personal possessions. Ndaba said the auction would rob both his family and the South African nation of important heritage items. Ndaba had not responded further at the time of publication.

The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) says it will continue to challenge the upcoming auction of former president Nelson Mandela's personal items. Auction house Guernsey's has advertised the auction for Monday, after the end of a legal battle cleared the way for the late statesman's belongings and artworks to be sold. The SAHRA had sought an interdict to prevent Madiba's eldest daughter, Makaziwe Mandela, from selling his belongings. However, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria dismissed the agency's application. SAHRA spokesperson Yazeed Sadien said some of the items on auction were still "the subject of ongoing legal proceedings". "Out of concern regarding the potential impact of the judgment on the preservation of heritage objects in South Africa, SAHRA, together with the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, and the Robben Island Museum, lodged an application for leave to appeal the judgment on 28 December 2023. The application is pending before the high court," the SAHRA said. Sadien added that, in 2022, a similar auction was suspended at the request of the SAHRA due to the ongoing legal proceedings. "This situation raises significant concerns for SAHRA, the department and the museum, and requires careful consideration due to the historical and cultural importance of the items at risk of sale. SAHRA, the department and the museum are urgently assessing the lawfulness and implications of the impending auction and considering all available remedies," Sadien said. Sport, Arts and Culture Minister Zizi Kodwa has voiced his support for the heritage agency. "Former president Nelson Mandela is integral to South Africa's heritage. His life, experiences and legacy live in our consciousness and in the values we promote as a country," he said. "It is thus important that we preserve the legacy of former president Mandela and ensure that his life's work and experiences remain in the country for generations to come." Kodwa added that it is "critical to support the intervention" by the SAHRA as a way to maintain "the country's rich heritage". Nearly 100 items linked to the former statesman are set to be auctioned on Monday, including two collections of drawings of Robben Island, where he was held for 18 of the 27 years he spent in jail. The collections, which were marred by controversy when allegations of forgery surfaced in 2005, are expected to raise more than R1-million. The first of the two collections going under the hammer is Reflections of Robben Island, which includes five lithographs printed in colour and a sheet of text written by Mandela printed in black. The second collection includes five lithographs, printed in colour on woven paper, each signed in pencil by Madiba, as well as five printed sheets, each reproducing Madiba's written text, and five printed illustrations created in collaboration between Madiba and American artist Grant Warren. Both collections include a certificate of authenticity from Makaziwe and the House of Mandela, which values the first collection at $38 500 (R720 000). While the second collection is not listed, art experts estimate it to fetch about the same at auction. News24 had been unable to reach both Makaziwe and the House of Mandela for comment at the time of publication. Forgery and controversy Two decades ago, Madiba launched a project to raise money for charity by selling sketches of Robben Island. The collection went on show in London in 2002. Among the collection are lithographs of the views of Table Mountain through prison cells, the lighthouse on Robben Island, fences and guard towers, and a view of the harbour. A series of prints were made of each of the five drawings, with proceeds from the sale of each intended for charities, including the Nelson Mandela's Children Fund and the Nelson Mandela Foundation. However, the prints soon became controversial following claims that forgeries had entered the market. The claims of fraud centred on Madiba's signature, which some said...

Brett R. Smith, Ph. D. is the Founding Research Director of the the L.I.F.E Research Lab at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio (L.I.F.E =Leading the Integration of Faith & Entrepreneurship). His program explores how spirituality and business can indeed be interwoven together for a more fulfilling professional and personal journey. The program's birth at a public University was unlikely, but after hearing about Brett's journey, his calling to teach, his deep faith, and the seeds that God planted in his life, it all makes perfect sense. Matt and Brett delve into his early roles, experiences with corporate and start ups, and finally his transformation to Miami University where, with his commitment and drive, he has led a flourishing program that has opened the minds of students in a unique and powerful classroom experience. The L.I.F.E. curriculum provides guidance, experience, and knowledge in social entrepreneurship and how faith can live in that environment. For anyone who has experience in starting something new, you know there will be high and lows. What the L.I.F.E. program suggests is that our faith can be an asset for survival. Faith is what let Brett to Miami, it is what shines light into his marriage to Laura (guest on 11/16/20) and into his role as a father to four kids, and it is what continues to provide guide posts as new challenges and opportunities fall on the path at Miami. Brett candidly shares some obstacles including how he faced health scares and question marks, but also how these challenges and set backs have been stepping stones to growth and insights to making decisions, arming him with more awareness that our clock is always ticking. This episode is a must-listen for all who are seeking courage to listen to our callings and are curious about how to harmoniously blend faith with their careers. To learn more about Brett, visit the Miami of Ohio University website. His achievements have also been featured in Time, Business Week, Financial Times,  CNN, MSNBC and he has been asked to speak at the United Nations, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Tedx Youth, and a number of leading universities.

The Nelson Mandela Foundation has welcomed the  judgement by The Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein that the gratuitous public display of the old South African flag constitutes hate speech, unfair discrimination on the basis of race as well as harassment. This after Afriforum brought the matter before the court last year. The civic organization argued before the SCA that displaying the old South African flag during the 2017 Black Monday protests against farm killings was not planned. It told the SCA that the Equality court order was made without meeting the required threshold to declare the act as hate speech. We spoke to AfriForum's Ernst van Zyl

The Queen's sudden death has come as a shock despite her age, and has echoed across the world. Many nations remembering a time Her Majesty visited their country, or one of their Presidents were hosted by the Queen in London. But not all reaction was of condolence, in some of the former colonies, the pain of the past was once again brought to light and the question now remains, what will King Charles's role be in addressing the past and what role will the constitutional monarchy continue to play in our modern society? Nexus speaks to Bob Morris, an honorary member of the Constitution Unit at the University College London who says the Queen remained an impartial leader and was excellent at adapting to an ever chaining society.

Judith February has more titles than Rafa Nadal. She's a veritable 'Jill of all trades' (I don't know if that's a thing, but it is now), a passionate South African, and thoroughly determined, as she puts it, "to be the last one to turn off the lights". In this broad-ranging interview with February, BizNews editor Michael Appel covers instalments of her vast career which led her to her latest challenge at FUL. He taps into her experience in the political-analysis realm, with President Cyril Ramaphosa fending off questions about millions of dollars in cash stolen from his home, as South Africans awoke to the news of the arrest of the Gupta brothers in Dubai.

The law only allows three exceptions to the use of symbols of hate such as the old SA flag. These exceptions include the usage of the symbol for purposes of bona fide artistic ends, academic endeavour or journalism. The gratuitous display of the old SA flag, for these reasons, has been declared as constituting hate speech.AfriForum is hoping to persuade the supreme court of appeal that general free speech rights are impermissibly restricted by such a declaration. The Nelson Mandela Foundation as well the Human Rights Commission argued that AfriForum's view, in turn, took inadequate account of the rights of dignity and equality which constrain the free speech rights AfriForum are asserting. The SCA now has to adjudicate the matter. In this edition of In The Ring, advocate Ben Winks, who represented the NMF, joined me to discuss an aspect of the case that has been under the radar. What happens if a black person or a black-led and pro-black organisation used the old SA flag as part of their political speech rights such as, say, waving it publicly as a trenchant critique of the quality of the current ANC government? Would such usage also be deemed to be a celebration of white supremacy? Or ought we to distinguish such cases from the gratuitous display of the flag by right-wing organisations? How should the law handle this? Besides, such an instance would not be artistic, academic or journalistic? Should the law be expanded to include political usage of such symbols as another exemption from the hate speech laws? We did not arrive at clear conclusions but framed the inherent legal, political and ethical complexities these questions occasion.

The law only allows three exceptions to the use of symbols of hate such as the old SA flag. These exceptions include the usage of the symbol for purposes of bona fide artistic ends, academic endeavour or journalism. The gratuitous display of the old SA flag, for these reasons, have been declared as constituting hate speech. AfriForum is hoping to persuade the supreme court of appeal that general free speech rights are impermissibly restricted by such a declaration. The Nelson Mandela Foundation as well the Human Rights Commission argued that AfriForum's view, in turn, took inadequate account of the rights of dignity and equality which constrain the free speech rights AfriForum are asserting.

The Nelson Mandela Foundation believes Afriforum's court bid in a matter concerning the old South African flag brings to the fore other significant issues.

- Jeg har et motto som er ‘keep on walking', sier Josef Yohannes som står bak tegneserien The Urban Legend. The Urban Legend er historien om en afrikansk superhelt, en helt han selv savnet som rollemodell da han selv vokste opp. Josef jobbet i mange år for å få realisert drømmen sin om å få helten ut i verden, og etter beinhard jobbing, avslag etter avslag og folk som rådet ham til å gi seg, er The Urban Legend blitt til flere bokutgivelser, er oversatt til åtte språk og er en del av pensum på skoler i Norge, Eritrea, Sør Afrika, Kenya og Brasil. Josef holder foredrag og samarbeider med Nelson Mandela Foundation og Malala Fund. I fjor ble Yohannes og superhelten The Urban Legend tildelt OXLO-prisen for innsatsen for å gjøre Oslo til en raus, inkluderende og åpen by. - Jeg har ofret mye for å komme hit. Det har kostet, sier han. Christina snakker med Josef om å tenke globalt, stort og om å satse. Om hvor han får motet fra og hva han tenkte da det var på det tøffeste. Om å inngå gode avtaler og om å aldri gi seg: keep on walking! Josef er 41 år, han har studert statsvitenskap og menneskerettigheter. Foreldrene hans er fra Eritrea, han ble født i Danmark og familien flyttet til Oslo da han var 8. Intervjuet av Christina Skreiberg

AfriForum is on Wednesday appealing the finding that the gratuitous display of the old South African flag is hate speech. They feel that the Equality Court's order is too over-reaching. Lawyer Mark Oppenheimer submitted that the ruling of 2019 does not take into account conduct that is not unlawful. "All public bans which don't meet the provision [of hate speech] is overbanning," he argued. He gave the example of protesters carrying the flag to demonstrate how hateful apartheid was, and then setting it alight as a form of protest. "The flag can bear a certain meaning, but the context tells you whether it amounts to hate speech." Courts had already spoken out to say that there were benefits to be had in allowing people to express their views in a way that avoided potential violence, Oppenheimer said. Free speech also provided clues to the temperature of society. He said the National Party had banned free speech to control people, but it had "backfired spectacularly". "There are instances that clearly don't amount to hate speech. "Just because the flag has a particular dominant meaning, doesn't mean that the display of that, endorses it," he said. The appeal which is being heard in the Bloemfontein High Court, is being livestreamed by eNCA. The Nelson Mandela Foundation and the SA Human Rights Commission took the case to the Equality Court, asking that the gratuitous display of the flag be stopped. Handing down judgment in August 2019, Judge President Phineas ruled that the display of the old flag gratuitously demeaned and dehumanised, based on race and impaired dignity. He found that the gratuitous display amounted to prohibited hate speech, unfair discrimination and harassment. AfriForum is worried that this will have far-reaching consequences for freedom of speech. The Nelson Mandela Foundation argued in 2019 that the display of the flag was a symbol of white supremacy, which was degrading and dehumanising to black people. Oppenheimer said on Wednesday: "The system of apartheid invaded everyone's dignity to different degrees. It's an incredibly sinister system. And yes, in other words, the dominant meaning of the flag is that it represents that system." However, he argued, the flag could be used to denounce another party and accuse them of racism, or oppression, but it is not necessarily an endorsement of apartheid. The new South African flag was designed by a former State Herald, Fred Brownell, and was symbolically first raised on 27 April 1994. The appeal continues.

Three years ago judge president Phineas Mojapelo found that the display of the apartheid flag was a form of hate speech after the court considered the matter brought by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and SA Human Rights Commission. Today, the debate continues as Afriforum heads to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in Bloemfontein, in an attempt to overturn the equality court ruling that declared the display of the flag a form of hate speech. AfriForum campaign officer Ernst van Zyl said while the group and its members do not display the flag, it is taking the matter to court because it believes there is an important distinction between free speech and hate speech. The lobby group holds that allowing the banning of unpopular symbols such as the old SA flag, will open up precedent for other forms of free speech to be limited. 

Civil rights organisation Afriforum is heading to the Supreme Court of Appeal next week to fight against the banning of the old South African flag. In 2019 the Equality Court declared that the gratuitous display of the apartheid flag amounts to hate speech. The Nelson Mandela Foundation took Afriforum to court after some Black Monday protesters displayed the old flag in 2017 during demonstrations against farm murders. The Nelson Mandela Foundation and the South African Human Rights Commission will oppose AfriForum's appeal application. For more on this application, Elvis Presslin spoke to AfriForum's head of policy and action, Ernst Roets and CEO of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Sello Hatang

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life,” asked poet Mary Oliver. As children we wanted to be astronauts, movie stars, wizards or unicorns, as grown-ups we generally just settle for a reasonably comfortable existence with something good to watch on TV and a beer at the end of a hard week. As that other great literary mind Zadie Smith said: “what modest dreamers we have become.” So what does it take to live a life of fulfilment, of impact? To leave a dent on our small part of the universe? What does it take to explore what's possible, and then realise it, and much more, as we step towards our potential and live the life of our dreams. Joining me this week is Nikki Eiberhardt, and she believes that if we align with our purpose – that thing which keeps us awake at night and gets us up in the morning – and set our sights on servant leadership, we can empower ourselves and others to take on the biggest challenges and find audacious solutions. Nikki is professor of business at Minerva University, Manager of Delta Airlines Global Talent Team, she works with Global Citizen, NASA, The Sundance Film Festival, The Nelson Mandela Foundation, she's given a TEDx talk, and has achieved so much more, in an effort to move towards a better world for everyone. And she believes we all have to power to find our purpose, engage with empathy, and develop a systems thinking approach to achieving amazing things.
