 | NELSON MANDELA CHILDREN’S FUND 6 NOVEMBER 1995 MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT NELSON MANDELA TO THE MISS WORLD 1995 PAGEANT |
I bid a warm South African welcome to all the participants in the 1995 Miss World contest, It has been South Africa’s pleasure and privilege to host this major international event for the past three years and my very best wishes go to all of the contestants, organisers and support staff of this, the fourth, Miss World Pageant to be staged in our beautiful country.
The Miss World contest brings together international young Ambassadors, each with extraordinary talents and potential. Many will go on to become leaders in various fields in their countries of origin. The experience they gain during the Miss World contest will stand them in good stead for the challenges they will face in their lives ahead.
Only one contestant will get to wear the winner’s crown – to her I say congratulations. To all the other contestants I extend my very best wishes in the hope that you will return to your countries carrying the message of hope that South Africa represents.
Nelson Mandela
Founder and Chairperson - Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund
