Mandela shared Nobel with man who released him from jail
Anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years in 1990 by the then-South African President FW de Klerk, and the duo shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize. The award, announced 23 years ago, was given "for their work for the peaceful termination of the apartheid regime, and for laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa."
