Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has hailed former President Nelson Mandela as a champion of reconciliation, who not only united South Africa but also forgave his oppressors.
Albanese participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Freedom Park in Pretoria this morning, commemorating fallen heroes who fought against the apartheid era and for South Africas liberation.
He touched down at the OR Tambo International Airport yesterday, joining heads of states ahead of the G20 Leaders Summit taking place in Johannesburg this weekend.
