As many major changes occur in many areas, and the new millennium develops, we invite you to use this Website as an educational resource that can benefit us all. This Website, in a cooperative effort with several others beginning on 18 May 1998, has collected many hundreds of birthday messages from all over the world for President Nelson Mandela's 80th Birthday on 18 July 1998.
Some messages are long and emotional.
A few even express criticism within the birthday greeting. But all celebrate the life and work of this great freedom fighter. Browse the messages below. This Guestbook is now closed. You may still send a message to Madiba and contribute to his Millenium fund at the following site .
