Tribute to Nelson Mandela on South African Banknotes
Posted 21 Feb 2012
A suitably fitting tribute to Nelson Mandela was announced last week when South African President Jacob Zuma revealed that Nelson Mandela’s face will now be on all South African bank notes.
The launch date was timed to coincide with the 22nd anniversary of Mandela’s release from prison in South Africa. Mr Mandela, now 93, was released from prison on 11 February 1990 after 27 years in prison. Mr Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for his campaign against white minority rule - apartheid. He was elected president the following year. Known affectionately by his clan name "Madiba", he has now retired from public life.
Zuma said the gesture was a fitting tribute to Mandela, a symbol of the country’s struggle for freedom and democracy. “With this humble gesture we are expressing our deep gratitude, as the South African people, to a life spent in service of the people of this country and in the cause of humanity worldwide,” Zuma said.
No date for the release of the new notes has yet been announced. Production has already begun, but the latest edition of the currency will only be distributed towards the end of the year in South Africa.
