In February the Nelson Mandela Foundation experienced a bittersweet moment when it said goodbye to Yase Godlo after nearly two decades of service. He goes with our blessing, as he takes on an exciting new challenge with The Beast Foundation. Things will not be the same without him. He joined us in 2004 as an assistant in the financial department. He went on to head the Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture team with distinction for many years, and wrapped his time with us in the position of Mandela Day and Outreach Director. We wish him every success with the next phase of his life journey. Go well Big Squire!
