Sanctions have evolved since they were deployed in the 1980s to pressure South Africa. Today’s sanctions, particularly the sophisticated ability of the U.S. to unplug a target from the global finance system, are more likely to actually work. David Wessel reports. Photo: Getty.

La iglesia Regina Mundi de Soweto es el mayor templo católico de Sudáfrica. Durante el régimen del apartheid, los opositores solían reunirse allí, por lo que fue rebautizada con el nombre de “el parlamento de Soweto”. Este domingo ha sido lugar de homenaje al expresidente Nelson Mandela, el hombre que venció al racismo. “Ha hecho mucho por nosotros. Somos así gracias a él. Estábamos sufriendo, no teníamos lo que queríamos, pero ahora somos libres y conseguimos todo lo que queremos en cualquier momento”, dice una mujer. “Para nosotros Madiba ha sido aquí, en Sudáfrica, y creo que en el mundo un profeta. Ha sido la luz que nos ha guiado diciéndonos que Diós está con nosotros, que escucha nuestras plegarias. Sus promesas siguen haciéndose realidad”, señala el sacerdote Sebastian Rossouw. El enviado especial de euronews a Sudáfrica, François Chignac, ha estado en Regina Mundi: “Durante toda la jornada, en todas los templos de Johannesburgo al igual que en esta iglesia del corazón de Soweto, centenares de personas han venido a rendir tributo a Nelson Mandela”.

Nelson Mandela estuvo conectado a una máquina de respiración artificial los últimos meses de su vida, una etapa rodedada de cierto secretismo sobre cuál era su verdadero estado de salud. Pocas personas tuvieron la ocasión de visitarle. Entre ellas se cuenta su amigo Ahmed Kathrada, un activista de la lucha contra el apartheid que fue sentenciado a cadena perpetua junto a Mandela: – “Cuando fui a verlo al hospital, fue el momento más traumático de mi vida. Ver a ese hombre, a quien conocía de toda la vida como una persona fuerte, que era una sombra de sí mismo. Apenas reconocible. Incapaz de hablar porque tenía estos tubos en la boca … Pero podía responder moviendo la cabeza para decir que había entendido”. Kathrada vivió personalmente algunos de los episodios que hoy recogen las salas de los museo que cuentan la historia de Mandela a las nuevas generaciones en Sudáfrica.

Idris Elba probably didn’t expect Pres. Barack Obama to talk about his sex appeal when he went to the White House last week for a screening of his awards season favorite drama Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom . “He told everyone in the screening room Idris Elba couldn’t sit down because all the ladies were all over him. Elba said “it was an honor” to have Obama ask to see the movie. “Barack is really fond of Mr. Mandela so he was really thrilled to have us there to present our film and I felt very special about doing that,” he said.
