The sequel of Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom and a posthumous memoir by the late apartheid freedom fighter, recounting his time as South Africa's first democratically elected president, is scheduled to be published around the world next year.


Pan Macmillan said Tuesday that it will publish the sequel to Mandela's best-selling autobiography "Long Walk to Freedom" in Britain, South Africa, India and Australasia in 2016. U.S. and Canadian rights have not yet been sold.


The publisher said the Nelson Mandela Foundation has "a substantial but incomplete personally written draft" of the book, written before the statesman died in December 2013 at the age of 95. On the wishes of his widow, Graca Machel, it will be completed by a group of Mandela's former advisers.
