New Delhi, Dec 06 (ANI): South African anti-apartheid hero and its first elected black president Nelson Mandela died at the age of 95 at his Johannesburg home. Although Mandela had been frail and ailing for nearly a year, President Jacob Zuma's announcement late on Thursday of the death of the former president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate shook the nation. Making a national broadcast, a somber Zuma announced the time of the death as 8:50 PM. Mandela, who emerged from prison after 27 years to lead South Africa out of decades of apartheid, had faced several health scares.
