The family of former South African President Nelson Mandela is putting up around 100 of his belongings up for auction to help fund a memorial garden in his honor. Among the items are some of Mandela’s iconic Madiba shirts
Among the roughly 100 items are the colorful patterned Madiba shirts he wore on formal occasions, including to meet Britain's Queen Elizabeth in 1998 and 2003.
Gifts from former U.S. President Barack Obama and other heads of state, as well as Mandela's glasses, briefcases, and pants, are also on sale to fund the Nelson Mandela Freedom Garden in Qunu, South Africa where he is buried. He died in 2013 at age 95 at home in Johannesburg.Dr. Makaziwe Mandela said her father wanted to generate tourism on the Eastern Cape, where he was born, and said she feels a responsibility to make that happen.
Madiba shirts, named after Mandela's Xhosa clan name, are similar to the loose batik shirts worn in Indonesia and Malaysia. He was given one by former Indonesian President Suharto in 1990 after he was released from prison, where he was locked up for 27 years for fighting to end apartheid.
