Together, they will reflect on the 30th anniversary of South Africa’s Constitution and the 50th anniversary of the Soweto uprising, viewed through the lens of Nelson Mandela’s enduring legacy. The discussion will explore whether these milestones offer grounds for imagining a hopeful future for the country’s youth.
