Further details of these commemoration events will be communicated in due course.

It remains the Free State Provincial Government’s prerogative, as Tata Mandela would have wished, to always keep the media, and general populace at large, informed about the good work the government continues to do. Working together, we are ensuring that is indeed a better country than it was before the late Mandela took to office, in 1994.
