"Although I have received many awards for my contribution to world peace, I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that people from your country decided to present me with this honour," wrote Mandela.
"Iako sam dobio mnogo nagrada za svoj doprinos svetskom miru, bio sam prijatno iznenađen kada sam čuo da su ljudi iz vaše zemlje odlučili da mi daju ovo priznanje", napisao je Mendela.
