Nelson Mandela as member of parliament
Former president Nelson Mandela briefly served as a Member of Parliament in 1994, following South Africa’s historic multi-racial elections. In fact, Mandela’s membership of the national legislature lasted only a few minutes because he was unanimously elected as South Africa’s new President. Nevertheless, he interacted regularly with the legislature, including the smaller opposition parties. Mercedes Besent reports.
