The South African Post Office newly released Nelson Mandela commemorative stamp is presented at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg on February 11, 2014

Nelson Mandela became South Africa's first black president after the first all-race elections in 1994 and his politics of forgiveness and reconciliation made him a global peace icon.

Nelson Mandela died on December 5, 2013 and was buried 10 days later in his rural boyhood home of Qunu after a state memorial service attended by dignitaries from around the world.
