A former police officer who helped jail Nelson Mandela 40 years ago
has returned to him two notebooks of letters written in prison.
"Thirty-three years have flown by since 1971 when I put these two
notebooks on my wardrobe," retired officer Donald Card said at
Tuesday's opening of the Nelson Mandela Center of Memory and
Commemoration Card told the former president he had waited more than
three decades to return the notebooks in which Mandela wrote drafts of
prison letters between February 1969 and April 1971. [more ]
