Message from The Nelson Mandela Foundation,
The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund
and The Mandela Rhodes Foundation
It is with the deepest regret that we have learned of the passing of our founder, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela – Madiba. The Presidency of the Republic of South Africa will shortly make further official announcements.‘We want to express our sadness at this time.
No words can adequately describe this enormous loss to our nation and to the world’.
We give thanks for his life, his leadership, his devotion to humanity and humanitarian causes. We salute our friend, colleague and comrade and thank him for his sacrifices for our freedom. The three charitable organisations that he created dedicate ourselves to continue promoting his extraordinary legacy.
Hamba Kahle Madiba
