“We’re very proud to have co-hosted the Durban premiere of Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. The film is amazing and is a beautifully told story of Mandela’s life and his experiences. Idris Elba, along with his fellow cast members, has done a great job in portraying Mandela as a man who values love, patience, trust and family – it’s an excellent portrayal of the book. I feel even prouder to be a South African after watching Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. I’d also like to use this opportunity to congratulate Anant Singh and everybody who worked behind the scenes on a job well done,” says Akash Maharaj, Centre Manager at Gateway Theatre of Shopping.
