Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox film Dear Mandela is a 2012 South-African/American documentary focusing on three friends who are members of the shackdwellers movement Abahlali baseMjondolo. They fight eviction by making a legal challenge against the KwaZulu-Natal Elimination and Prevention of Re-emergence of Slums Act of 2007 which ends up going to the final court of appeal, the Constitutional Court. The challenge is successful but swiftly results in a violent attack on the Kennedy Road informal settlement in 2009. The film-makers were themselves caught up in the attack.[1]

With the events of the film happening long after Nelson Mandela stepped down as President of South Africa, his promise to house all citizens is still a central question.[2][3][4]

The film was written, produced and directed by Dara Kell and Christopher Nizza.[1] It premiered at the 2012 Brooklyn International Film Festival.[5]
