The film shows not the politics of the man, but also shines a light a life lived on principles of ethics, compassion, inclusion and social justice and equality. We hope this film is seen by as many people as possible and we are actively supporting efforts to make it as accessible as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n Oliver Tambo: Have You Heard from Johannesburg<\/strong> Political comrades and law partners, Mandela and Tambo shared a political destiny. Nelson Mandela is a household name.\u00a0 Oliver Tambo is virtually unknown. Banned in South Africa, Tambo led the liberation struggle in exile from 1960-1990 while Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island. During those 30 years he not only kept the African National Congress (ANC) unified, led his movement both inside and outside South Africa in a successful battle against apartheid,\u00a0his calls to the international community to isolate and sanction the South African regime created the most globalised human rights struggle of the 20th century.\u00a0 In the end, his actions released Nelson Mandela and laid the foundation for a new South Africa.\u00a0 Suffering a stroke on the eve of success, OR would not live to see his livelong friend become the first black president of a democratic South Africa.<\/p>\n Make sure to visist www.afridocs.net<\/a> for the best in African documentaries available to stream FREE anytime from anywhere in Africa. #AfriDocsAnytime<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In honour of Freedom Day 2018 AfriDocs will make available for FREE STREAMING via Channel24, the moving and powerful biopic: Oliver Tambo: \u00a0Have You Heard from Johannesburg.
