In Ottawa Canada, The Mandela Legacy Foundation yesterday honoured some of the brightest names in
entertainment, sports, politics and fashion at the 2016 Canadian Black
History Month Gala and dinner. The prestigious event was held at the Canadian Museum of History.
Zondwa Mandela said “These awards, on March 19th, are about celebrating empowerment,
celebrating the values my grandfather stood for and celebrating the men
and women who believe, as we do, that it is only through working
together that people—all people—will achieve greatness,”
“The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge
the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us.” ~
Nelson Mandela
Other recipients of the award are Drake, Kanye West, Will and Jada Smith and Akon.
