Braid heads to South Africa for Mandela memorial

WATERLOO REGION — Our voice will be there when the world joins South Africa in mourning Nelson Mandela.

Kitchener-Waterloo MP Peter Braid has been tapped to join Canada's delegation, attending the memorial for South Africa's first black president.

"I'm truly honoured and humbled," he said. "Mr. Mandela is the most important political figure of our lifetime. I expect that this will be a life-changing experience."

The Conservative MP helps chair an association that builds ties between parliamentarians in Canada and Africa, promoting democracy, human rights and good governance.

He says he was inspired to seek office in part by Canada's strong stand against the racist white regime that imprisoned Mandela for 27 years.
