Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa and the anti-apartheid hero has passed away at the age of 95.


South Africa President Jacob Zuma confirmed Mandela's death on Thursday.


Mandela passed away after almost a month of being in intensive care. He was admitted into a Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa, on June 8 with a recurring lung infection, an illness that traces back to his years in prison. During the rule of the white racist government and apartheid, Mandela spent 27 years behind bars, before being freed in 1990 and becoming South Africa's first black president in 1994.
