Nelson Mandela's vision of a Rainbow Nation, that is what Layla wants to bring to the fore. She did it in her application to run for Miss South Africa, and she is doing it in this podcast episode. It was 1994 when Mandela spoke about it. And to this day, true acceptance of that idea is a long way off. Thank you for bringing it up, representing it and keeping his vision alive.
