World Icon slowly disappearing from public after 88

By Tando Mfengwana

Former South African President, Nelson “Madiba” Mandela’s larger-than-life appearance is slowly disappearing from the public eye. Reports say that Madiba will spend his 88th birthday in his home in Qunu, rural Eastern Cape, this Tuesday. Madiba, as he is well known, will shift from public appearances to enjoy a quiet retirement. His foundation, The Nelson Mandela Children’s foundation will continue to capture his legacy through memory and dialogue work. This will see photo exhibitions of his early years and a tribute to his former university, by legendary photographers Alf Khumalo and Jurgen Schadeburg.
