The Nelson Mandela Foundation is honoured to announce that human rights lawyer and UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese (@FranceskAlbs) will deliver the 23rd Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture on 25 October 2025 at Wits University.
This year’s theme, Enhancing Peace and Global Cooperation, draws on Nelson Mandela’s 2003 call for multilateral action in the face of rising conflict and inequality.
We are proud to continue partnering with @WitsUniversity in bringing this important dialogue to life.
Registration details for in-person attendance will be shared in due course.

Palestinians have the right to self-determination.
It is not up to Trump, Netanyahu, or Blair to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.
UNRWA’s aid is banned from going into #Gaza by Israeli Authorities.
But our 11,000 colleagues continue to deliver critical services.
UNRWA remains the largest primary healthcare provider.
We supply water and shelter to the forcibly displaced.
We need the ban lifted to bring in our supplies.

She might not be here to say it.
But let’s not let death stop Janey Godley from giving the middle finger to Donald Trump.
Let’s do it for dear friend Janey.
Trey Reed should be alive. He deserved to grow old, to graduate college.
The media is silent while his family mourns his loss. I fully support his family's demand for a thorough and transparent investigation. They deserve nothing less.
Children in Gaza are living in hell. Overnight, Gaza City has faced heavy airstrikes, artillery fire, drone attacks and helicopter gunship fire from Israeli forces, according to BBC News.
Children in Gaza want to live, and we will never give up on them.
"The Commission finds that the Israeli authorities intended to kill as many Palestinians as possible through its military operations in #Gaza since 7 October 2023 and knew that the means and methods of warfare employed would cause mass deaths of Palestinians, including children."
The luxury of being silent you thought you had is over.
The inaction of the world as a genocide is happening in 4K in front of you has emboldened fascism.
Their greatest weapon is your silence.
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.
The Israeli bombardment in the north of #Gaza is constant.
Forcing thousands to flee.
The only way for many is to walk.
There is a shortage of shelters and tents.
There is no safe place.
Stop the war now and let #UNRWA bring in our critical supplies.
#CeasefireNow
Israel is a terror state. Israel is a rogue state. We are witnessing colonial settler terrorism.
We cannot be silent or silenced
This is London, England.
Yep !! In the UK , in this country, imprisoned without trial. She’s been on hunger strike for 25 days . Scream at the top of your voice against this injustice- if they get away with this they will do it to anyone.
Dear @DavidLammy
We, the British people, demand that if Isaac Herzog steps foot on British soil he is arrested for his war crimes.

Francesca Albanese speaks for us all, when she speaks of “shame” at not being able to do more:
‘Palestinians 🇵🇸 have suffered so much’
‘Genocide not just in Gaza but also the West Bank🇵🇸’
‘Israel 🇮🇱 wants to erase Palestinians from the river to the sea’
Today Scotland raises the Palestinian flag outside our Government building, St Andrew's House.
Alongside a series of tangible measures announced today, we are showing our solidarity with the people of Gaza in the face of a horrific genocide.
