SOUTH AFRICA
A rainbow nation.
🌈
"Rainbow nation" is a term coined by Archbishop
Desmond Tutu
to describe post-apartheid South Africa after South Africa's first fully
democratic election in 1994. The phrase was elaborated upon by President
Nelson Mandela
in his first month of office, when he proclaimed: "Each of us is as
intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the
famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld
– a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world."
