Nelson Mandela day is observed on July 18 every year.
The United Nations (UN) had in 2009 declared July 18 as Nelson Mandela Day to honour Nelson Mandela, a South African anti-apartheid activist who served as the first President from 1994 to 1999.
Mandela was the first black head of state and was the first elected President in a fully democratic election in South Africa.
The day was first celebrated on July 18, 2010, the 92nd birthday of Mandela, to honour the achievements of the anti-apartheid leader.
To mark the first celebration of Mandela Day, fundraising programs, art exhibitions, and music concerts were organised.
This day is also known as ‘46664’ and was originally launched to create awareness about HIV/AIDS.
