His Excellency Makhenkesi Stofile Read A Public Lecture about Nelson Mandela

 “On behalf of South Africa and the African National Congress I would like to thank you for your solidarity”, said His Excellency Makhenkesi Stofile in the beginning of his statement. In his lecture he emphasized on the fight for democracy and freedom of Nelson Mandela - the first black President of the South African Republic (since 1994 to 1999). In 1962 Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment and he served 27 years. When he went out from the prison Bulgaria was one of the few countries in the world which appreciated his wisdom and ideas, outlined the Ambassador Stofile.
