The President of the Republic pays tribute to the symbol of the anti-apartheid struggle and Father of the democracy in South Africa, Nelson Mandela aka "Madiba".

"Mandela is not only the Father of Democracy in South Africa, it is the symbol of democracy and like any symbol, it is not dead. It is present in all of us and guide us by his lifestyle, his courage and faith in the true struggle for equality between Men, races and Nations," recalled the Head of State which presents, on behalf of Haiti, its most sincere condolences to the family of former President Nelson Mandela (1994-1999), to his friends and relatives, to the people and Government of South Africa in general.
