Peleng remembers Mandela

The two services could not have been more different. Ninety-one world leaders, including American President Barack Obama and President Ian Khama, attended the Johannesburg service held at FNB Stadium. 

In Lobatse yesterday afternoon, people thronged Peleng Community Hall for an altogether low-key event that both celebrated the life of the man who spent more nights in Peleng than in South Africa between 1961 and his arrest in 1962, and remembered the role played by Fish Keitseng and the township of Peleng.
