Feb 11th marks the 20th Anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. Images of him leaving Victor-Verster Prison after 27 years of imprisonment are now great moments in modern history. At the end of today, when the sun sets on the 20th Anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, lets take a moment to reflect on the progress the country has made, and remember that there is still much to be done in South Africa. Please consider buying a 46664 Bangle and helping people in South Africa to gain new skills and earn an income through the 46664 Bangle program.

Morgan Freeman, on his Best Actor nomination for “Invictus”: “I’d like to thank the Academy for this extraordinary honor. Congratulations to Matt Damon on his nomination. I’m especially grateful to Clint Eastwood, Invictus producer, Lori McCreary, and the entire cast and crew of ‘Invictus.’ Most importantly, thank you to Nelson Mandela for his encouragement, his blessing and his friendship – without which, this film would not have been possible.”
