South Africa’s late Nelson Mandela’s monument was on Tuesday unveiled in Moscow, Russia’s capital, as the country continues to win more affection from Africans.
Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary leader, philanthropist and politician who served as SA’s president (1994 – 1999).
He is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and influential leaders of the 20th century.
