## Resource

How do the descendants of South Africa’s most famous freedom fighters understand freedom in today's world? Phumi Mashigo speaks with Princesses Swati Mandela-Dlamini and Zaziwe Manaway, two of Nelson and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s granddaughters about the deeply personal stories behind their new Netflix documentary. Serving as co-producers of the Netflix documentary series “The Trials of Winnie Mandela”, Phumi speaks to the pair about growing up within a family that played a central role in South Africa’s liberation struggle, the lasting impact of apartheid on their lives, and the responsibility that comes with preserving an important chapter of the country's history. Through their candid reflections, they offer a unique perspective on legacy, identity and the continuing relevance of the struggle for freedom. The Burning Platform
