Celebarting Nelson Mandela

Twenty years ago, on 11th February 1990, Nelson Mandela walked free from prison after 27 years of incarceration. He went on to become South Africa's first black president, elected in a fully representative democratic election, and ended the country's policy of racial segregation.

Affectionately known as "Madiba" in South Africa, Mandela, now 91, is known for helping end apartheid in 1994.

On February 8, 2010 The Medical Knowledge Institute was one of the co-sponsors of a very special evening in Rotterdam, celebrating Nelson Mandela with a very special musical, “Amandla!Mandela” produced by Bos Theater Production.

Many celebrities attended this event, including Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Maxime Verhagen, Minister of foreign Affairs and Peter Goosen, South African Ambassador to the Netherlands.
