The new instalment of Nelson Mandela\u2019s autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, has been released in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Dare Not Linger tackles his five years as South Africa\u2019s president after the collapse of apartheid and gives his view of the country\u2019s first multi-racial elections in 1994.<\/p>\n

Mandela\u2019s unfinished handwritten draft of the book was completed by a successful South African novelist.<\/p>\n

The former president could not finish it because of his age and ill health.<\/p>\n

Mandela spent 27 years in prison for fighting white minority rule and became South Africa\u2019s first democratically elected president in 1994, serving only one term in office.<\/p>\n

He died in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u2018My long walk is not ended\u2019<\/h2>\n

South African author Mandla Langa was brought in to add to the 10 chapters written by Mandela.<\/p>\n

Mr Langa \u2013 who was also an activist against white minority rule \u2013 used his own interviews and research to complete it, as well as Mandela\u2019s notes.<\/p>\n

The Nelson Mandela Foundation said it was a 50-50 collaboration between Mandela and his co-author.<\/p>\n

The title of the book is taken from the final sentence of Mandela\u2019s celebrated autobiography Long Walk to Freedom, in which he wrote: \u201cWith freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book sold more than 14 million copies worldwide and was turned into a film starring British actor Idris Elba.<\/p>\n

Mandela\u2019s widow Graca Machel wrote the prologue of the sequel, which also covers the period that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission examined apartheid crimes, Mandela\u2019s international diplomacy and his divorce from Winnie Mandela in 1996.<\/p>\n

It is not clear whether the book addresses the failure to tackle South Africa\u2019s Aids crisis and Mandela\u2019s controversial selection of Thabo Mbeki as his successor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the last years of his life he talked about it [the book] often \u2013 worried about work started but not finished,\u201d Graca Machel said.<\/p>\n

Mr Langa\u2019s novel The Lost Colours of the Chameleon won the 2009 Commonwealth Writers\u2019 Prize.<\/p>\n
