Celebration of Former South African President Nelson Mandela's centennial

South Africa is a country of contrasts - from its natural beauty to its sprawling big cities - its rich cultural heritage is a source of universal pride.

The celebration of former South African president Nelson Mandela's centennial is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the country's history - from the painful memories captured at the Apartheid Museum to Madiba's history-making journey to freedom and power.
