Description
The story of Nelson Mandela's early years on the run from the apartheid authorities
JOHANNESBURG. MARCH 1961.
Thirty-one activists are on trial for treason. Among their number is Nelson Mandela, a rising star of the resistance movement and one of the biggest threats to the South African government and their racist system of apartheid. To everyone's surprise, they are found not guilty. But rather than relish his newfound freedom, Nelson disappears.
With this, the incredible true story of Nelson Mandela's life on the run begins. For months, he is an outlaw, the police and secret services hunting him in vain, living under new identities and separated from his young family. His mission? To set up armed resistance to apartheid, and in doing so change the course of history.

I've been enjoying the True Adventures series, it's a great way to introduce young adults to historical people's lives in a fun way. The plot of this book was wonderfully done and I enjoyed the entire read. Zukiswa Wanner does a great job in creating this story and I hope to read more from Zukiswa Wanner.
"He has responsibilities. What does he think he is doing? he asks himself. When he parks, he rests his head on the steering wheel and exhales. His armpits are wet – he is still nervous – but at least they got here safely."
