Saving Mandela's Children
This is a true story of South Africa's unwanted children.
No names have been changed to protect those involved. The events in this book have been recorded as honestly and as accurately as I can manage. These events led to huge frustration and anger. The occasional use of strong language is an honest reflection of that frustration and anger. Dianne Lang is a Human Rights Activist for children who worked extensively with abandoned, abused, neglected and orphaned children in South Africa. Her bold dedication to the freedom of the children in South Africa has made her a target of political torture and extreme human rights abuses. In her own words she says, “This book had to be written because the terrible failings of the system had to be exposed and because I needed a catharsis relevant to the lives and deaths of these deeply hurt and innocent children”. This book will offer little comfort in the stories that I have recorded and remembered; there is sadly much for the beloved country to cry! Click here to go to Amazon

Just like Africa itself, Dianne is a study in contrasts. Armed with an Honour’s degree in Psychology, a BA in Philosophy and Psychology, Dianne is also a Sangoma, an African Shaman as well as an alternative healer, having studied many different healing modalities including Acupuncture and Reiki.
Dianne Lang is the author of “Saving Mandela’s Children’, a true and harrowing account of events that transpired during two of the most traumatic and invigorating years of her life. It started when three very ill young black African children were left on her doorstep, dying of AIDS and in great need of food, shelter and love. It ended with Dianne fleeing for her life, turning to England for exile.
These are some of the photographs she took during her years of caring for abandoned, neglected and abused children.
