South Africa today November 6th rolled out new notes bearing the image of 94 year old anti-apartheid leader and the country's first black president, Nelson Mandela. The new 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 rand banknotes feature Mandela’s image
on one side and the other side maintains the Big Five animals already on
the bills.
Mandela is the first black man to appear on South African money. A great way to immortalize a great man.
Awwwwwwwww!
ReplyDeleteGreat man!
ReplyDeleteB4 mandela went 2 jail,he was a black african wit a revolutionary mindset.Wen he was released, he b'came an old ass kisser esp 2 d west.Did he give blacks in SA d lands seized by whites during apartheid wen he was president??NO!!! Let him b dere taking fotos wit oprah & jay-z Educate urselves
DeleteSour grapes, you think u can dismiss 27yrs of a person's life time with *ass kisser* how long was he president that you want for him to have solved S/Africa problems of how many decades? Abeeeeg, go drink some ukhumboti and let us hear word. It is a democratic society, get into government and make d difference u want.

ReplyDelete@anon 2:41pm and warri girl not only dead people are put on bank notes, †̥ђε̲̣̣̣̥ queen of england appears on pound notes,
ReplyDeleteWhy are d comments so few? If its Ksolo and his ugly women many would have commened. But that's a great step, sometimes you need to pay your respects(no pun intended) when a man is alive so he know he is held in high esteem. Madiba, you are the best.
ReplyDeleteMandela wil b happy 2 die now. Dis is a great way of honouring a great man.
ReplyDeletewhat a honour Mr Nelson .. Smh Trying to imagine abacha on the N5000 note ...
ReplyDeleteCongrats Mandiba, but isnt dis a risky venture of puttin a living man's pics on dia national currency? Common we all knw humans r prone 2 f*ck up, so wat den happens if he makes a very terrible act just b4 he dies,would he still be considered a hero whose face is worthy 2 be on dia notes? #just my tots o

ReplyDeleteAn honour well deserved. Anon 10:42pm, no man is ever perfect but there's a level a man shall attain such that a mistake by him will be tied by his admirers and thrown to the sea. Pray for him rather than say ill stuffs.
This is a wake-up call to all of us, even from our zero position we can make the best use of what we have to effect the lives of people around us and believe me, posterity will never forget you.
God bless Super High Model (my tite for him) Mandel.
God bless you
some nigerians are just fake wanna be's who are deformed instead of being informed... so only a dead person that be immortalised? linda, i think u need organise a seminar for some of the readers here to equip their understanding.... tufiaakwaaa, dumb asses....
ReplyDeleteMandela is not the first black man on the South African note!he is actually the first man or human being on the South african note.its always been animanls n mountains.we love Madiba!love live Madiba
ReplyDeleteMandela has done great, my prayer is that the holy Almighty God will grant him the grace to ebrace christ for him to finish well, then my joy will be full for him
ReplyDeleteEmeka
mandela is a great man,but my prayer is that the Almighty God should grant him the grace to embrace Christ for him to finish well.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as South Africa is a black country, i dont see how having a black face on their currency should be counted as a milestone. The story here should be about what Mandela stands for. Shame on them for not doing this until now.
