R1 NO RESERVE! 2007 UNCIRCULATED MANDELA SILVER R1

The previous Nobel Laureates Albert Lutuli and Desmond Tutu made important contributions to progress towards racial equality in South Africa. Mandela and de Klerk had taken the process a major step further. The Nobel Peace Prize for 1993 was jointly awarded in recognition of their efforts and as a pledge of support for the forces of good, in the hope that the advance towards equality and democracy would reach its goal in the very near future.

When Nelson Mandela bade farewell to Parliament on 10 May 2004, he urged South Africans never to forget their past, but to use it as a guide in overcoming the challenges still facing the country. FW De Klerk, who retired from politics in 1997, praised all South Africans for their role in bringing about change in the country, asking them to join hands for further socio-economic transformation, saying the challenges were still huge. "We must ensure that South Africa becomes a winning nation." Mandela left the chamber assisted by De Klerk, as the gathered Members of Parliament sang: "Rolihlahla Mandela, freedom is in your hands, show us the way to freedom in this land of Africa".
