To commemorate late-statesman Nelson Mandela's centenary, the South African Reserve Bank has launched commemorative banknotes in a vibrant coin into circulation, depicting the most significant occasions in Mandela's life. Mollane are an oldie, attended the launch. The notes and coin commemorate what would have been Mandela's 100th birthday. The notes and coin will be circulated for about three months with more than 400 million notes printed to the value of a 140 billion round. Finance Minister Klan Klanene discusses the symbolism of these notes. Nelson Mandela's biographer, the late Anthony Simpson, described Madiba as the master of symbolic images who knew how to project himself. In this Mandela, I had a common thread with banknotes and coin. Banknotes and coin are about symbolic images too. Once out there in circulation, banknotes and coin are unlike other products, in that they have to project themselves. Unlike the products and services that we use daily, banknotes have to speak for themselves. The events captured on the notes help to shape South Africa's democracy and are valuable to remain but to this day. SA RB Gavanel, the Secha Kanyahu tells us more about the note features. Our banknotes, however, are representative of an economy with sound fundamentals and prudent monetary policy. So how does one celebrate the life of a globally respected and celebrated state man? There is such a rich history through the story of Nelson Mandela as told in his own ways in his best telling book Long Walk to Freedom. That the SA RB has had to use our full range of banknotes as well as a commemorative five-rend circulation coin. The banknotes highlight President Mandela's historical journey from the rolling hills of the eastern Cape to Soweto, to Howik, to Roman Island and to the Union buildings. The commemorative five-rend circulation coin features a portrait of Tatamadiwa smiling at the nation he has helped to build. Nelson Mandela's life has touched all of us. South Africans from all walks of life rural and urban. What could be more fitting than to commemorate his life through an instrument that we all use everyday? The Nelson Mandela Foundation contributed to the note design and helped pick which occasions stood out the most in Mandela's life time. Nelson Mandela Foundation CEO, Celeux Hatang, shares his insight. I think for us and the reserve bank, we had to choose moments that were so significant in my diverse life in terms of also the part of our country. So in other words, the coin is not just the journey of a life but also the footprints of Madiba around our country. You can never be denying that those moments that we chose were moments that shaped helped shape Madiba, helped shape South Africa's history. And I'm hoping that South Africans using the money. The rather people who will be using the money will also agree with us that the significant moments that we chose were the moments that helped shape who we are as a nation. That's pretty amazing.
