He is currently a regional project manager for east and southern Africa at Journalists for Human Rights (JHR). Mandela holds an M.Phil. in Conflict Transformation and Management and a Ph.D. in International Relations and Conflict Resolution from the Department of Politics and History at Nelson Mandela University in South Africa. Mandela has deep connections to social justice movements across the world like his grandfather, the late former president of South Africa and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
