Mandela Rhodes Foundation



Today, Madiba was introduced to the 2006 Mandela Rhodes Scholarship recipients. 15 Scholars were formally introduced to Mandela, who shook hands with each of them in turn. In what I've come to expect from the man, he made witty quips to some of the students, including a comment to the effect of 'won't you bring Mugabe a message from me' to one of the three Zimbabwean recipients.

The event was held at Mandela House, where the Mandela Rhodes Foundation and Nelson Mandela Foundation have their offices.
