South African national hero and former leader Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela turned 94 yesterday.
Nearly 12 million children across South
Africa kicked off celebrations to honour Mandela who spent the day
quietly with his family in his South-Eastern birth Village of Qunu.
US president Barrack Obama gave an early tribute saying ‘Mandela has changed the arc of history, transforming his country, the continent and the world’.
Mandela, a politician who served as
President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, is the first ever to be
elected in a fully representative democratic election in South Africa.
Happy birthday sir!
