Bid to bring Olympic Games to South Africa to fulfil wish
As the world mourned a man hailed as one of the greatest humanists of our time, South Africa’s International Olympic Committee representative Ramsamy said it “is a time to celebrate the achievements of Nelson Mandela.”
“Like everyone else we are grieved tremendously. But this is not the time to be mourning. This is a time to celebrate the achievements of Nelson Mandela, there are too many to record,” Ramsamy said at IOC headquarters, where the organisation’s flag was flying at half-mast.
