EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in South African history. It features Nelson Mandela, the iconic ANC President of South Africa, alongside his wife Winnie at Wembley Stadium. The year is 1990, and this image symbolizes the triumph over apartheid as F. W. De Klerk dismantles the oppressive system that plagued the nation for three decades. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness Mandela's charismatic presence as he addresses a crowd with an impassioned speech. His powerful words reverberate through the football stadium, inspiring hope and unity among all who hear them. With his characteristic wave, Mandela exudes strength and determination to fight for justice and equality. By his side stands Winnie Mandela, a formidable figure in her own right. As an influential activist herself, she played a crucial role in supporting her husband's political endeavors throughout their tumultuous journey together. Photographer Roger Allen skillfully captures not only the political significance of this moment but also portrays the deep bond between Nelson and Winnie Mandela. Their love and unwavering commitment to each other are evident in their shared gaze and intertwined hands. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of how sport can transcend boundaries by providing a platform for important social issues to be addressed. It immortalizes two extraordinary individuals who dedicated their lives to fighting injustice while showcasing their humanity amidst turbulent times in South Africa's history.
