Available for over a year

In this episode Gemma is focusing on the rights of all people, regardless of race. We also hear a brief guide to the life of Nelson Mandela (1918 - 2013) - his imprisonment, release and election to the position of President of South Africa. Stevie’s on his school holidays and has time to get to know Walter - an exile from South Africa - and hear his story and enjoy the music that he plays on his tin whistle. As Walter’s story unfolds, Stevie hears about the history of South Africa and also learns how to play the whistle. But it’s not all about the past; both are given a challenge for the future.
