In the Name of God
NELSON MANDELA
Philanthropist | Revolutionary | Humanitarian
The Universal Muslim Association of America offers its condolences to the worldwide community regarding the death of Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary who was imprisoned as well as a politician and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalized racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation.
UMAA views the efforts of Nelson Mandela to reduce racism, foster cultural unity, and creating a representative government as noble and praiseworthy. Muslim countries around the world have spoken out in praise of Nelson Mandela.
