Ferraris for Mandiba thrills Sexwale

Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale said on Sunday it was an honour leading two laps for former president Nelson Mandela.

Sexwale was part of the annual Ferrari Owners Club event at the Kyalami race track on Saturday.

It was a treat and a half for lovers of fast cars when hundreds of Ferraris took to the tracks.

Nelson Mandela Foundation trustee Sexwale said the races were extra special.

”It’s not about the speed of the cars; it’s about the long journey that Mandela had to take. It was a slow one, but it came out well,” he said.

Sexwale led the lap of honour for Madiba while the fast and furious machines followed behind.

Owners of the vehicles also arrived with items to give to charity.

Mandela day events continue until the end of the month.
