Mary Robinson delivered the 10th Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture on Sunday 05 August in Cape Town South Africa.

Speaking as a ‘true friend of South Africa’ Ms Robinson said that as South Africa faced into its 20s, there was a great opportunity to draw on its strengths and renew the inspirational vision it set out of a rainbow nation, which the world stood in admiration of in 1994.

“I have every confidence in South Africa realising the opportunities for its humanity to fully emerge,” she concluded.
