ANTI-APARTHEID revolutionary & former South African President Nelson Mandela has died at the grand age of 95.

Visiting his old cell |
Mandela was released on 1990 after an world-wide campaign and served as ANC President between 1991 - 1997. Mandela set about dumping the racist apartheid laws with the South African President at the time through negotiation and set up the first ever multiracial elections that saw Mandela elected President of South Africa and formed a Government of National Unity.
