"Nelson Mandela was a global champion of equality, justice & human rights.
As societies worldwide become more polarized, his calls for solidarity & an end to racism are as relevant today as ever.
Let us honour Madiba’s call to action & be empowered by his legacy. #MandelaDay"

L'vovo shades late Nelson Mandela, praises jailed Jacob Zuma
L'vovo has once again shown his support for arrested former President Jacob Zuma. The Kwaito musician took to social media to share his thoughts on Zuma's leadership style and late former President Nelson Mandela's.
The Resista hitmaker believes that Zuma is now bigger than Mandela. The star shaded Mandela and suggested that he did not do anything for the poor people of Mzansi.
L'vovo took to Twitter late on Thursday, 8 July and claimed that Zuma now means more to the poor people of the country than Mandela. L'vovo wrote:
"Zuma just overtook Mandela. Zuma now means more to the poor South African than what Mandela meant (even with the amount of advertising and propaganda about Mandela). Zuma just took pole position in SA politics and history books! People are hurt, like genuinely hurt! Nxamalala."
