Nelson Mandela: Brian Mulroney

Brian Mulroney: The man known affectionately as Madiba died Thursday at age 95. Mandela never forgot the support he received from Canada and from former prime minister Brian Mulroney in his epic fight for freedom, said Stephen Lewis, Canadas former United Nations ambassador under Mulroney, according to The Chronicle Herald. All Mandela ever wanted to talk about was Canada, and Mulroney, said Lewis and OTTAWA Nelson Mandela is being remembered in Canada for his wisdom and fearless fight against racism. As it turned out, Canada also occupied a special place in Mandelas heart in later years. Its fair to say that Mandela was deeply attached to Canada, recalled Lewis, who visited Mandela and his wife, Graca Machel, numerous times between 2001 and 2009 in South Africa.
