An uncompromising and unsparing struggle for the freedom of all, the freedom of every man, the life goal of Nelson Mandela was an inspiration to numerous artists, reporters and activists this year, when the whole world is marking 100 years since the birth of Nelson Mandela.
We asked a few of our associates to join World “Mandela 100” Day marked on the day of his birth, 18 July.
Zoran Mišić, a reporter for religious radio “Zlatousti”, made two shows about the importance of Mandela and his legacy, but also about a wider view of freedom, asking: how free are we truly today, here in this region?

Dejan Kožul, author of the KUPEK radio show did an interview with Shirley Gunn, a South African activist, “a woman who dedicated her life to fighting not just apartheid, but every injustice, a woman with “steel bones”, a woman who was persecuted, imprisoned and a woman who never retreated before injustice. Shirley is white, but also a woman, and as such she was again in the minority. How did she cope with this, what was her experience, was taking up arms the only option? Shirley was arrested three times and came out stronger and bigger each time, even when they took away her baby and used it to threaten her, even when her fellow fighters from the African National Congress left her on her own.”
