Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela's 1990 release marked in South Africa

20 years ago Nelson Mandela walked free.

I can't really remember much about it all; just vague memories. I'd have been 16y. I feel I should have known more.

I honestly cannot believe it's been twenty years. I remember it like it was yesterday (South African - lived through the fall of apartehid. Quite something).

I remember watching it on TV with my DM and DBs, getting bored part way through and going outside to play (I was 8, so go easy on me). Apparently he was delayed by 2 hours (hence me getting bored). I honestly cannot believe it's been twenty years.

It's amazing that it has been 20 years.

He is truly a remarkable man. Shame about the state of South Africa though.
