Nelson Mandela's 'The Long Walk to Freedom'

Video footage shows Nelson Mandela's walk Victor Vester

On 11 February 1990, Nelson Mandela was returned back to the people after having served 27 years in prison as he fought the apartheid rule. Millions of people around the world had campaigned for his release for decades, and were finally able to watch him walk out of Victor Verster Prison and give his first address at Cape Town city hall. The 11th of February is a symbol of the ‘long walk to freedom,’ and a testament of how Madiba paved a new path for hope.
