Ambassador Sizani officially receives Nelson Mandela's Honorary Doctorate from Leipzig University

On 11 October H.E. Ambassador Phumelele S. Sizani was invited to Leipzig University to officially be handed the Honorary Doctorate the former Karl-Marx-University had bestowed to Nelson Mandela back in 1987, while he was still in jail and had to be represented by Oliver Tambo. Now, on the occasion of the visit of a delegation from Leipzig's partner University from Stellebosch, the Rectorate used the opportunity to hand over the Doctorate to the highest official representative of the South African Government in Germany.
