QUNU, South Africa - Nelson Mandela celebrated
his 90th birthday Friday by urging the wealthy to share their
prosperity with the less fortunate and by saying he wished he had been
able to spend more time with his family during the anti-apartheid
struggle. In an
interview at his home in rural southeastern South Africa, the
anti-apartheid icon was asked if he had a message for the world.
"There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty," Mandela said. msnbc
