“I was fortunate enough to meet Madiba a number of years ago, and I have treasured that memory ever since,” Harry expressed during his speech.

“He worked tirelessly to protect everything that is special about this beautiful country for all future generations,” Harry added. “To that end, I was pleased on this trip to lend my support to the conservationists who are fighting to protect South Africa’s natural heritage, especially its critically endangered animals.”
