Nevelie Mickelie, South Africa (accompanying the Honorable H.E. Dr. Zweli Mkhize):
“The reason for our visit is that we got an invitation from Rev. Jackson, who has been a very good friend to South Africa who has assisted us in the civil rights movement and liberation of our country. We have continued our partnership with him. We are now at a position where we want to enhance our relationship between the South Africans and the African American community.”
