A special Fund Drive Broadcast, AfrobeatRadio presents “Dear Mandela” a film about the struggles of South Africa’s Shack dwellers’ struggle to keep their homes in the face of ANC government’s determination to evict them. Think of the parallels the world over – from the Kivus in the DR Congo to Makoko in Lagos to NYC’s homeless population, shelter system and that thing called “gentrification.”
