Nelson Mandela, born on 18 July 1918 in Mveso, Transkei South Africa was first inaugurated as President in 1994. He was actively involved in the anti-apartheid movement in the 20’s and joined the African National Congress in 1942.
For 20 years, Mandela directed a campaign of peaceful, non-violent defiance against South Africa’s Apartheid government and its biased policies.
In honour of the values and cause that he stood for, Xiaomi was thrilled to sponsor The Redmi Note 12 Pro+, a device renowned for its innovative features and exceptional camera capabilities, to document and celebrate the spirit of ubuntu.
