Article: Sequel Nelson Mandela's autobiography to be published

A sequel to the late Nelson's Mandela's autobiography "The Long Walk to Freedom" is to be published in South Africa next year, the former president's foundation said Wednesday.

The book titled "The Presidential Years", which Mandela began writing in 1998, will be based on his five years in office.
 
Aw, I thought is was gonna be called "I'm Still Dead But My Useless Relatives Are Using This as an Opportunity to Make More Money off my Good Name". Doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but still.
 
" He had already drafted 10 chapters "when he finally ran out of steam" in 2002, said the foundation which has released a handwritten manuscript of the opening sentences of the book."

"Mandela left instructions for the draft to be handed to five of his comrades for comments, including President Jacob Zuma, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa and presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj, who was also jailed with Mandela on Robben Island."

What's causing the delay? .. think JZ finished the 10 chapters yet? It has only been 12 years.
