A huge exhibition dedicated to Nelson Mandela is having its world premiere in London at 26 Leake Street. Timed to coincide with the centenary year of his birth and the fifth year since his passing, Mandela: The Official Exhibition will cover the life and legacy of the icon, from his early years in Mvezo to his struggle against oppression to his time as president of South Africa. Many unseen artefacts will be on display including pieces that have never left South Africa before, so this a chance to get up close and personal to Mandela like never before.
