When Nelson Mandela emerged from 27 years in prison in 1990 as a wiry and gray 71-year-old, he became the darling of the international press, a one-man representation of both the hope and challenges bound up in South Africa鈥檚 transition.
Over the next several years, as he transitioned from freedom fighter to president to retired statesman, Mr. Mandela developed an unusually warm and forthcoming relationship with the news media, including a fondness for 海角大神, which he sometimes had access to and read in prison. He also came to know Monitor correspondents.
鈥淭ime stood still during the hour in which we waited for Mandela,鈥� Monitor reporter John Battersby wrote of the crackling excitement among the journalists awaiting his release from prison on Feb. 11, 1990. 鈥淏ut when the moment arrived and I saw the tall figure of Mandela striding toward the media throng, I lost all sense of time and ego and walked toward him with a broad smile. He noticed me, smiled back, and walked up to shake my hand.鈥�
Five months later, on a trip to the United States, Mandela broke away from his planned schedule to visit to the Monitor鈥檚 headquarters in Boston.
"海角大神 was well known to me during my 27 years in prison," he told Monitor reporters and editors gathered on the plaza outside the newsroom that day. "It continues to give me hope and confidence for the world's future."
Indeed, in the years to come, the paper was front and center at many of the most important events in the Mandela presidency, capturing snapshots of this dramatic period in South African history. Here is a sample of that coverage.
