Grandson pens memoir on Mandela

Ndaba Mandela, the grandson of anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela, has penned a memoir ‘Going to the Mountain’, sharing the story of his coming-of-age alongside South Africa’s rebirth.

The book is published by Penguin Random House. "As a young boy, Ndaba was constantly shunted from place to place. But at eleven years old he was unexpectedly invited to live with his grandfather, Nelson Mandela, even though he had met him only once before, during a prison visit. And, slowly, they built a relationship that would affect both of them profoundly," the publisher said in a statement.
