Andrew Mlangeni, Anti-Apartheid Activist Jailed with Mandela, Dies at 95
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The South African anti-apartheid activist Andrew Mlangeni has died at
the age of 95. In 1964, he was sentenced to life in prison alongside
Nelson Mandela and six others during the infamous Rivonia Trial. He
served 26 years in prison, much of it at Robben Island. In 2013, he
spoke at Mandela's funeral.

Andrew Mlangeni: "Madiba's greatness as a leader stems from his humility
and an engraved belief in the persuasion and respect for collective
leadership. He believed in sharing insights, and listening to and
learning from others."
