President Jacob Zuma says the bust of former president Nelson Mandela which was unveiled at Parliament on Monday, shows how far South Africa's democracy has come in a short space of time.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony and launch of the 20 years of a democratic Parliament programme, Zuma said Parliament would continue to promote Mandela's legacy.
Zuma also paid tribute to former president FW de Klerk, who was part of today's unveiling ceremony.
He said as the last president of apartheid South Africa, De Klerk had put the country first, and had played a pivotal role in averting a disaster in South Africa.
President Zuma also urged South Africans to celebrate democracy and freedom by voting for the party of their choice in the general elections next week.
