Nelson Mandela Lecture 2026

Under the theme “From the 1976 Soweto Uprising to Constitutional Democracy – Reimagining the Future of Youth” Professor and South African Human Rights Commissioner Tshepo Madlingozi will engage in an intergenerational dialogue with young people selected by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.

Together, they will reflect on the 30th anniversary of South Africa’s Constitution and the 50th anniversary of the Soweto uprising, viewed through the lens of Nelson Mandela’s enduring legacy. The discussion will explore whether these milestones offer grounds for imagining a hopeful future for the country’s youth.
