“Nelson Mandela represented the best version of ourselves as South Africans,” SARB governor Lesetja Kganyago said.
“We unveiled the current Mandela series of banknotes in 2012 to honor him. While preserving the value of money is our main mandate, our purpose is to be a bastion of institutional strength, contributing to a stable and prosperous economy that serves the well-being of all South Africans, and guided in part by Madiba’s values,” he said.
