The Nelson Mandela Day has been declared by Limkokwing University to pay tribute to the African icon and to celebrate the positive values that he had brought to the international community.

The university’s president Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing said July 18 had been picked to commemorate the occasion as it was the late South African president’s birthday.
