Today has been a very long day. After yesterday's mass act, today we came to the Luthuli House in Johannesburg. There, after signing the book of condolences of the ANC, we met with the Commission of Foreign Affairs.

After expressing our condolences and gratitude and commenting on yesterday's ceremony, we made a brief review of the latest events about the situation in the Basque Country (the abolishment of the 197/2006 Doctrine, the situation of the political prisoners, the blockage in which the Spanish government wants to maintain the resolution process, etc.). We also spoke about the situation in South Africa. Next year they will celebrate elections and that will condition the situation of the country.

Later we went to Pretoria where we participated in an act organized by the Cooperation and International departments of the ANC. As an expression of international solidarity with the ANC, representatives of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Polisario Front spoke, as well as a representative of the Latin community. From Europe, a representative of the Swedish Socialist Party intervened.

After the act we were with Mac Maharaj, the spokesperson for president Jacob Zuma, and with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ebrahim Ebrahim, to whom we had the opportunity to express our condolences and our gratitude. Finally we went to the Union Buildings, where the body of Mandela is present.
