When Mr Mandela Came To Town

Tinu Dos Santos thinks watching the news is utterly boring and depressing.

Yet every single day she must watch the news along with her siblings because her parents insists it is 'good for them'.

One day a news story pops up that piques her curiosity - Mr Nelson Mandela, the newly elected President of South Africa, is coming to town!

Her parents are so excited at this prospect that Tinu is allowed to take the day off school to join the crowds as they welcome Mr. Mandela on this historic trip to Brixton.

With thousands of people lining the streets, a strong police presence and the nation's media watching, what happens next astounds everyone and Tinu and her family are at the heart of it!
