Mandela Day not a holiday

The Office of the Prime Minister has said that Mandela Day, which will be announced by Government next year to celebrate the life of former South African president Nelson Mandela, will not be a public holiday.
A statement from OPM press secretary Francis Joseph yesterday corrected what he said was inaccurate reporting in the Trinidad Guardian’s front page story which stated that Mandela Day would be a public holiday.
“Nowhere in the statement of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar in her tribute in the House of Representatives (Friday), did she say that “Mandela Day” would be a public holiday.
The Prime Minister’s statement was carried live on the Parliament Channel. The Guardian also received a copy of the Prime Minister’s statement to Parliament,” the statement said.
Joseph said Persad-Bissessar stated in part, “In this regard, I am pleased to announce that I have agreed that a date in early next year, will be declared “Mandela Day” in Trinidad and Tobago, and with the leading scholars, historians and relevant historians, we will organise a public symposium on the life and lessons of Nelson Mandela.”
“I noticed that Facebook and other social media have been busy all day (yesterday), speaking about another holiday being declared in Trinidad and Tobago,” Joseph said in the OPM statement.

CIA Central In Mandela’s Arrest … Labelled Him a Terrorist Until 2008
Everyone from President Obama to the mainstream news is lionizing Nelson Mandela.
But the New York Times reported in 1990:
The Central Intelligence Agency played an important role in the arrest in 1962 of Nelson Mandela, the African National Congress leader who was jailed for nearly 28 years before his release four months ago, a news report says.
The intelligence service, using an agent inside the African National Congress, provided South African security officials with precise information about Mr. Mandela’s activities that enabled the police to arrest him, said the account by the Cox News Service.
***
Newsweek reported in February that the agency was believed to have been involved.
***
At the time of Mr. Mandela’s arrest in August 1962, the C.I.A. devoted more resources to penetrating the activities of nationalist groups like the African National Congress than did South Africa’s then-fledgling security service.
***
A retired South African intelligence official, Gerard Ludi, was quoted in the report as saying that at the time of Mr. Mandela’s capture, the C.I.A. had put an undercover agent into the inner circle of the African National Congress group in Durban.
Indeed, Nelson Mandela was only removed from the U.S. “terrorist” list in 2008.
