Once Nelson Mandela said the following:

On the occasion of the World Cup South Africa, 2010 Mandela wanted to send a clear message of unity in his country and around the world.

Mandela today would be turning 100 years old. The great Mandela was a promoter of social causes and fought all his life to live in freedom in South Africa.

Mandela is also well remembered by Rugby fans for his messages of encouragement for the South African team in that legendary 1996 World Cup.

Remembering the great Nelson Mandela, a huge advocate of the power of sport to bring people together. He would have turned 100 today! Respect 🙌
