Virtual Lunch & Learn: Opposite Mandela
Tony Leon occupies a unique place in world history. While serving alongside Nelson Mandela as leader of the Democratic Alliance from its inception, he was a prominent figurehead during the most turbulent and exciting times in contemporary South African politics.
In this Lunch & Learn, Leon will share key lessons from his work with Mandela and other anti-apartheid leaders and share his perspective on why the miracle that brought about democracy in South Africa is due for a renewal.
