REVIEW: In 1964, South Africa civil rights campaigner, Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment. From the dock he said, “I have cherished the ideal of a free society in which all persons live in harmony…it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die”. After 27 years incarcerated in appalling conditions, he was released on February 11th, 1990.

In 1994, he was elected President of South Africa, in the country’s first-ever free elections. Mandela, after an historic forty-year journey, joined the people of London in Trafalgar Square, to celebrate the 7th anniversary of free elections in South Africa. Mandela thanked the people who stood by him, in a memorable speech, and with a unique show featuring R.E.M, The Corrs, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Dave Stewart, Hugh Masekela, Baaba Maal and more.
