SAVING MANDELA'S CHILDREN:
The true story of South Africa's unwanted children
by Dianne Lang

What readers and publishers say about the book ….

I have never read a book like this in my life. It felt as if I were experiencing what was happening myself. You have inspired me to do something worthwhile with my life. Thank you. 

Reader.
I am not an emotional person but your book put me on a roller coaster of emotions and now I look at the world with different eyes. 
Reader.
I now have your book. I started reading and couldn’t put it down. Well done. 
Reader.
I am really enjoying reading your book - though it was hard at first, .I'm not sure that enjoying is the word! Some of it is pretty gruelling. I’ll make sure it is passed around and will treat a few people for Xmas. I am making myself get on and read it so I can pass it on.

I've finished reading your book last night and my mom got her copy last week :) How you do what you do??? I seriously do not know...I would've gone mad ages ago and ran away. You're amazing!

I'm reading your book - not yet half way. Oh, what a sad story. It wrings the heart. Your love and battle for the children's welfare shines through.

I received the book yesterday...started last night and could not put it down...It is exactly as it happened. Am already at page 254. You have done a great job.

I was truly inspired by your story. I am enjoying the book. It is so powerful I can’t put it down. 
Reader.

Just wanted to let you know that I received your book this afternoon and I am nearly half-way through it - I can't put it down! I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face and yet I can't stop reading. I must be so naive because I just had no idea what those kids had been through when I was in Middelburg. I so wish to be back there and give them all my love and hugs. And you too - words cannot convey the admiration and respect I have for you. I can feel your pain and frustration and wish there was something I could do to help.

Amazing! I really hope I can source this book and read it, it seems as soon as one gets out of the country, things really can be said as they should! Good luck in selling millions so the truth can be heard, and I truly admire you for your honest approach and your guts to get the job done !

The unfeasible lack of government support is something that needs to be brought to the attention of a wider section of the world’s press.

This is a terribly disturbing account of the abuse of children’s rights in South Africa:Rukshana Yasmin: Telegram Books

I've started reading your book and am loving it...just engrossed.

A very big congratulations to Dianne!! I'm so glad that Di had finally completed a book on rough patches in her and the children’s lives down in the Cape. Already having a lump coz I have an idea of what's in there given her not so good experiences.
Head of Social Welfare Department, Fort Hare University.
Please forward me Di's numbers. I wanna personally talk to her about the book. She means a lot to me and the community she serves for a blind government. Warm Regards,
