On 9 May 1994, soon after the landmark election results were in, he was unanimously elected President by South Africa’s new Members of Parliament. As Mandela’s post-presidential office, the foundation provided the base for his charitable work, covering a wide range of endeavours: from building schools to HIV/AIDS work, from research into education in rural areas to peace and reconciliation interventions. Five years later, the Foundation began its transition into an organization focused on memory, dialogue, and legacy work
