8115 A Prisoner's Home
Alf Kumalo and Zukiswa Wanner (Penguin, 2010)
News photographer Alf Kumalo is also the Mandelas' personal photographer, and he has been on hand over the past 50 years to record precious moments in the lives of Nelson and Winnie. His photographs capture Winnie wonderfully in all her roles – mother, wife, grandmother, banned person – and re-united with Nelson after his release from prison. The pictures of Nelson after his release are equally illuminating. This is a rare collection of beautiful photographs of two people living through and surviving the evils of apartheid. Wanner gives a succinct summary of their lives.
