Madiba's favourite stories for the children of Africa are getting a new look in the special 100th birthday edition of the anthology released this week.
The late great Nelson Mandela loved children and Madiba Magic is a collection of 32 of his favourite fables not only from South Africa but from around the continent.

Madiba Magic is published by Tafelberg and retails for R295...
