Nelson Mandela | 20th Anniversary of His Release


"In the two decades since the release of Madiba [Mandela's clan name], our country has changed fundamentally. President Mandela united this country behind the goal of a non-sexist, non-racial, democratic and prosperous South Africa.

...As we celebrate Madiba's release today, let us recommit ourselves to building a better future for all South Africans, black and white. Let us pursue the ideal for which Madiba has fought his entire life – the ideal of a democratic and free society, in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities." -President Jacob Zuma
