12.12.13 - Tribute to Nelson Mandela

LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE AT JAMAICAROCK.COM


























Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionarypolitician, activist, lawyer, andphilanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was South Africa's first black chief executive, and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalised racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically an African nationalist anddemocratic socialist, he served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1991 to 1997. Internationally, Mandela was Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999.

It was a sad day to learn that he had passed and so this show is dedicated to him.
