Johannesburg — Today, 17 August 2013, saw a group of esteemed guests and delegates attend the 11th Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture at UNISA, in Tshwane. The keynote lecture was delivered by Dr Ibrahim, the Founder and Chair of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation. Below is a transcript of Dr Ibrahim's address.
I am really honoured to stand here before you today to deliver this lecture. I must confess l looked up the list of previous speakers and found out they fell mostly under categories of either presidents or Nobel Prize Laureates, l am neither. l wish to congratulate the Trustees in opting for a commoner like me to present this lecture - brothers and sisters, please manage your expectations.
