President Jacob Zuma has paid tribute to Nelson Mandela, describing him as a true leader who united the country.
He was speaking at a gathering of traditional leaders which was organised to honour Mandela for his outstanding contribution to reconciliation and nation-building in Pretoria yesterday.
The president encouraged all those who attended to follow in Madiba’s footsteps to improve the lives of South Africans.
“Madiba characterizes a generation of leaders whose selfless sacrifice placed South Africa on the road to democracy,” he said.
