“Nelson Mandela, also in my home country, stands as a symbol of the will to freedom and of a readiness for peaceful change. His commitment to the transformation of South Africa has shown to the world what the power of argument, the linkage between visions and a sense of reality, and the example of wise leadership are capable of achieving.”

(Address by German President Roman Herzog at the University of Fort Hare/South Africa on 11 March 1998)

„The Mandela Project 2015/16“ – die Ausstellungen – stehen unter der Schirmherrschaft von Bundespräsident a.D. Prof. Dr. Roman Herzog 

„Nelson Mandela ist auch in meiner Heimat ein Symbol für Freiheitswillen und Bereitschaft zu friedlicher Veränderung. Sein Einsatz für den Wandel in Südafrika hat der Welt gezeigt, was die Kraft des Arguments, die Verbindung von Visionen mit Realitätssinn und das Beispiel weiser Führung zu leisten vermögen.“

(Ansprache von Bundespräsident Roman Herzog an der Universität Fort Hare/Südafrika am 11. März 1998)
