納爾遜曼德拉以及南非年輕人如何看待他的遺產

Sihle Lonzi, a 26-year-old South African student leader, expresses a complex relationship with the legacy of Nelson Mandela, the nation's first black president. Lonzi, who was born after the end of the oppressive apartheid system, is part of a generation that is reassessing Mandela's impact.

Mandela is a historical figure of immense influence, having led the fight against apartheid, spent over 27 years in prison for his beliefs, and subsequently becoming South Africa's first democratically elected president in 1994. However, Lonzi and his peers argue that while Mandela achieved political freedom for the people, he fell short in securing their economic freedom.

This sentiment is echoed by many young South Africans who see the country as one of the most unequal in the world, with about 10% of the population owning more than 80% of the wealth. Despite this, there are those like Anita Dywaba, a 24-year-old United Nations Foundation Fellow, who maintain that Mandela did what was necessary to end apartheid peacefully and that the current issues facing the country cannot be solely attributed to him.
