Summary

A 6-metre-tall statue of Nelson Mandela in the West Bank City of Ramallah. It's the first statue South Africa and it's sits in a square named after Mandela 

Twenty-two years ago, the first post-apartheid elections were held, leading to Nelson Mandela becoming South Africa's first black president. Now the 27th of April is a public holiday, called South Africa's Freedom Day. 

For this he's an icon of peace and the embodiment of the struggle for justice around the world. 

I think that is a gret idea for South Africa but especially for remind us of him.
