Struggle icon Nelson Mandela’s eldest granddaughter‚ Ndileka Mandela‚ has called on South Africans not to forget how far they have come and to stand together to ensure peace and prosperity in the country.

Speaking at a Freedom Day rally in Pretoria organised by the newly-formed Freedom Movement to call for President Jacob Zuma to step down‚ she cited the Freedom Charter which stated that the people shall govern and therefore had the right to call their government to order.
