Nelson Mandela Foundation

On behalf of our founder, chairperson, trustees and staff we wish to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Whitney Houston, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 48.

Ms Houston sang for Mr. Nelson Mandela at a White House dinner in his honour in October 1994. She dedicated to him her rendition of the song Greatest love of all.

May she rest in peace.
