Don't mind you dressing up as me, says Mandela
A Tory councillor accused of racism after blacking his face to appear as Nelson Mandela at a fancy-dress party received backing from the most unexpected of sources yesterday. Mandela himself. The former South African president revealed that he had heard of the controversy - and had not taken the slightest offence.
The 88-year-old statesman urged against seeing racism at every turn. His only objection was councillor Brian Gordon’s choice of shirt, which he said did not match the quality of his celebrated wardrobe.
