Sendo o Apartheid o regime de que Mandela foi vítima e pelo qual empreendeu a sua luta, para homenagear esta incontornável personalidade mundial, nada melhor que a seguinte música composta por Peter Tosh (1977), cuja reprodução seria proibida nesse ano, tanto em Old England, como na África do Sul.

Aproveitando a ocasião, partilho outro tema, raro, em que Peter Tosh acompanha com uma "melódica" a versão dub (instrumental) do tema Armagideon, de Bunny Wailer, impressa como Anti-Apartheid:
