The Nelson Mandela Foundation (NMF) has launched the Nelson Mandela International Day for 2011 in Johannesburg.
The day, to be commemorated under the theme ‘Change’, was launched by a panel of schoolchildren in the absence of the recuperating former president.
NMF spokesperson, Sello Hatang, says a decision was made ahead of the launch not to mention Madiba's health to avoid it overshadowing the event.
