21 ICONS season 2: the promise of freedom

Told through the personal chronicles and anecdotes of 21 remarkable South Africans, 21 Icons Season II is a reflection of a nation post Madiba. Using the theme, ‘The Promise of Freedom’, the overarching message is a positive affirmation that South Africans are actively encouraging and enacting Mandela’s legacy.

The season II icons guiding South Africa on its path to greatness are Albie Sachs, Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, Herman Mashaba, Frene Ginwala, Francois Pienaar, Grace Masuku, Pops Mohamed, Kitty Phetla, James Matthews, Professor Tebello Nyokong, Pieter Dirk-Uys, Pregs Govender, Lucas Radebe, Zubeida Jaffer, Anant Singh, Jill Farrant, Peter Magubane, Zanele Situ, Miriam Tlali, Taddy Blecher and Sandra Prinsloo.
21 ICONS South Africa is an annual collection of photographs and short films of South Africans who have reached the pinnacle of achievement in their fields of endeavour. These men and women have been an inspiration through their extraordinary social contribution. It is not a definitive list and does not denote any ranking.

The short film-series documents the conversations between Steirn as the photographer and filmmaker and the icons. Each short film provides insight into both the subject and photographer’s creative approach to the portrait.

Catch the show on Sunday 26 April 2015 at 19h30 on SABC 3.
