A Tribute to Madiba: Kenyans plant tree in honor of departed Icon | NTV

 As Nelson Mandela is laid to rest Sunday in Qunu, South Africa, a tree planted in his honour starts to grow at the freedom corner in Uhuru park here in kenya. Members of the PanAfrican Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) assembled at the park early in the morning to plant a tree in commemoration of the deceased hero. Dubbed Nelson Mandela commemorating tree planting, the group called upon African leaders to emulate the ideals of Nelson Mandela in leading African nations saying it is the only way to keep his legacy alive and allow him to rest in peace. They also called upon African leaders to spearhead environmental preservation as did the late Mandela in order to avoid harmful climate changes in the continent. http://ntv.nation.co.ke/news2/topheadlines/a-tribute-to-madiba-kenyans-plant-tree-in-honor-of-departed-icon/
