South Africa introduces new Mandela bank notes




To honour Nelson Mandela, the South African government has decided to have Mandela's picture on one side of their 10,20,50,100 and 200 bank notes while maintaining the big 5 animals mainly found on the safari on the reverse side (Lion,buffalo,tiger,Rhino,elephant) . The 94 year old anti-apartheid leader and Nobel prize winner was the first black  president in South Africa and now the first black man to be featured on their national currency.

Honour to whom it is due!!

Do you feel any Nigerian deserves such an honour?
