"Our work is for freedom for all. . . We say tonight, after nearly 90 years of life, it is time for new hands to lift the burdens. It is in your hands now, I thank you." The tribute to Mandela coincided with disputed elections in Zimbabwe, and during his trip to Britain Mandela was urged to speak out against President Robert Mugabe who pushed ahead with the vote despite international outcry. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai boycotted the poll because of a wave of deadly attacks on his supporters. |
