He was sentenced to prison, returned to become the first black president of the country. Each year, on July 18, the Nelson Mandela day is marked with lectures from world leaders, this year’s keynote speaker is President Barack Obama .

Even before the big day could arrive, citizens of the country have joined forces using about 4000 blankets to produce a very large blanket in honour of their hero.
