MANDELA / MADIBA L'ICÔNE HISTORIQUE
Pakistani Christian children hold placards bearing the image of late South African president Nelson Mandela as they take part in a rally to pay tribute Mandela in Islamabad on December 10, 2013. Mandela, the revered icon of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa and one of the towering political figures of the 20th century, died in Johannesburg on December 5 at age 95. Mandela, who was elected South Africa's first black president after spending nearly three decades in prison, had been receiving treatment for a lung infection at his Johannesburg home since September, after three months in hospital in a critical state.
