Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela is celebrating his 90th birthday on 18 July
No matter how often I see Nelson Mandela, it is always a special moment that makes me feel privileged to live and work in South Africa.
This week, he came to the French School in Johannesburg for a birthday function arranged by one of his charities, the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
The children all wore T-shirts in honour of the man they call "The Children's Champion".
Mandela arrived in one of his trademark tops, a flamboyant gold and white patterned shirt, buttoned at the collar.
