“Nelson Mandela has always been a hard act to follow. At an African National Congress (ANC) rally today, ahead of Wednesday’s elections, the former president of South Africa and famous political prisoner sparked cheers among the tens of thousands of ANC supporters assembled. His role at the rally — as it was when Mr. Mandela was the first post-apartheid president — was to reassure South Africans that the ANC government would stand for reconciliation and peace, as well as correcting historic injustices. The 90-year old Mandela was driven into Coca-Cola Park, a Johannesburg rugby stadium, in a golf cart and helped to the stage by the ANC’s presidential candidate, Jacob Zuma.” (04/19/09)
