Speaking about the concert, Mo Abudu says “It’s
one of the least of things we can do as Nigerians, Africans and Global
Black citizens of the world to honour a unique, caring and very humble
global character.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela lives on
as a beacon of hope and a true icon of inspiration; a man of
extraordinary vision who has left such a great legacy of humanity that
Africans and the rest of the world must strive to aspire to. So we are
indeed very proud to put this together.
It’s a free concert for the
expensive price of liberty paid for by the selfless Madiba. We made a
call to the industry and we got really tremendous response. For all our
music stars and partners, we cannot thank you all enough for your
sacrifice, kindness and generosity, which themselves typify the spirit
of ‘Ubuntu’, which is South African for humanity. God bless you all.”
We can’t wait!
