“Mandela’s death brought together more than 90 world leaders at the memorial service in Johannesburg,” said IRPF member Fr Reid Shelton Fernando, who also attended the ceremony.

“The handshake between US President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro stands out as one of the event’s highlights,” he told AsiaNews.

“This is a symbol of the positive impact of Mandela’s life,” which embodied the values ​​of “forgiveness, peace, reconciliation, justice and lack of revenge against one’s enemies.”
