A plethora of high profile guests attended Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday dinner fundraiser as a prelude to the 46664 charity concert.
Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington, Robert DeNiro, Will Smith, Uma Thurman, Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Tony and Cherie Blair and a host of others helped celebrate the landmark dinner event.
‘What is so special is that you spend 27 years in prison, you come out and you do the thing that everyone thought was impossible to do, become president of the nation and change the way people feel about Africa, and then you get to live to celebrate 90,’ Oprah said at the event.
Nelson Mandela is one of the most remarkable men of our time, utilizing the dinner and birthday celebrations to continue to raise funds and awareness for Africa in need is just a given for the long time freedom fighter.
