Nelson Mandela's widow said today that the world still had a long way to go to attain the freedoms that her husband fought for, as South Africa prepared to celebrate 100 years since his birth.
Graca Machel told AFP in an interview that the anniversary events should inspire people to take action to tackle inequality, improve education and become part of a "tapestry of good against evil".
Referencing her husband's memoir "Long Walk to Freedom", she said: "We have just begun the journey, we have to keep walking because the freedoms which we are trying to see embodied by (Mandela) are still in their infancy."
