On the morning of the 12th Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture on 9 August, the Lecturer, President Michelle Bachelet of Chile, gave two hours of her time to a conversation with two dozen South Africans on the challenges of reckoning with oppressive pasts.
Hosted by Nelson Mandela Foundation (NMF) chairman Professor Njabulo Ndebele at The Mandela Rhodes Foundation, the conversation provided an intense dialogical exploration of the theme.
