Nelson Mandela has denied writing the foreword for President Denis Sassou-Nguesso of the Democratic Republic of Congo and has threatened the ‘appropriate’ legal action.
The book ‘Straight Speaking for Africa’ claims to have a foreword written by former South African President despite the fact that he has publically stated that he will not write any more.
The book claims to quote Mandela as saying that Sassou-Nguesso is one of the “greatest African leaders, who has worked tirelessly to free oppressed people from their chains.”
The Mandela Foundation has said in a statement that they “Condemn the brazen misuse of Mandela’s name and will be taking the appropriate legal action.”
