January 22, 2024

As an integral part of the country’s cultural identity, Mandela’s life achievements and experiences continue to inspire future generations. The legal battle highlights the conflict between cultural preservation and commercial exploitation, and the outcome could potentially create a benchmark for future cases where cultural heritage clashes with business interests.
