South Africa's People's Parliament: The Dream Deferred

In 2006, an employee of the South African Parliament, with nearly ten years of dedicated service, was summarily fired. His offence? He was a candidate in the municipal elections. This is the true story of his struggle to defend his political rights and that of Parliament’s 2000-plus employees. In the process he exposed the hypocrisy, lies and abuse of power at the same Parliament that elected Nelson Mandela as the first black president of a post-Apartheid South Africa.
