Tupac's mum to take his ashes to Africa
When the late rapper's mum heads to Africa later this year she'll be packing her son's ashes as part of a campaign to link up the Tupac Shakur Foundation with the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
On September 10th, Afeni Shakur will mark the tenth anniversary of her son's murder by taking his ashes to Soweto, South Africa. Afeni Shakur was long involved in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and the injustices prevalent in the American system.
"I feel blessed to be able to visit South Africa, especially Soweto," Afeni said. "Events that happened there are so much a part of our history and it will be an honor for my son to rest in this special place; the birthplace of the South African struggle for democracy.
"Nelson Mandela's contribution to the people of South Africa has been immeasurable and I look forward to helping with his work all over the country."
