Mandela’s name printed across the world

By: SABC

Former President Nelson Mandela selflessly dedicated his life towards the struggle for freedom and democracy in South Africa.

The anti-apartheid revolutionary and philanthropist led with resilience and vigour, and is recognised as the ultimate embodiment of forgiveness.

He has gained strong international acclaim for his activism and his name remains printed on several monuments, schools, halls, buildings and street names across the world.

Formerly Welford Road Recreation Ground, the park has a sign quoting Nelson Mandela: "There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere".

The Mandela House in Vilakazi Street, Soweto, is the former home of the former president and his former wife, Winnie Mandela.

The property is now a national museum.
