Ka 2007, Motshameko o, e ne ele nngwe ya dithulaganyo tsa go keteka letsatsi la bo89 la matsalo aga rre Mandela. Go gorogile batho ba ka nna 35000 kwa Newlands Rugby Stadium kwa Cape Town go keteka letsatsi leo ka go lebella motshameko wa kgwele ya maoto oo gakgamatsang mme o sa tlwaelega, magareng ga setlhopha sa dikgeleke tsa lefatshe ebong World XI le sa Afrika XI.

E ne e kwadilwe nomore ya gagwe ya batshwariwa ka fa pele ebong — 46664 — e eleng letshwao la lenaneo la gagwe la go retloetsa kitso ka ga HIV/AIDS.
Rre Mandela o buile fa a le motlotlo go tltlafatsiwa ke FIFA mme a tsaya motsotso go tlhagisa fa ‘a ne a se esi, mme ele mongwe wa ba bantsi ba ba lweleng kgatlhano le kgethololo le bokgokgontshi. Ditlhopha tsoo pedi, di ne di bonagatsa lebaka la lenaneo la bone ka mebala ya paka tsa bone.
Setlhopha se sengwe se ne se apere bontsho fa se sengwe se apere bosweu. Motshameko o, one o tlotlomatsa tlhamo ya metshameko ya kgwele ya maoto kwa Robben Island ka batshwariwa ka nako e Mandela aneng a le kwa teng.

Mandela o ne a lebelela metshameko ya batshwariwa a ntse a le kwa toronkong ya gagwe ka gonne batlhokomela bagolegwa ba ne ba sa batle fa a ka ikopantsha le bagolegwa ba bangwe. Morago ga fao, ba aga lebota go mo thibelela go ka lebelela.
Ka letsatsi la motshameko motlatsa mopresidente wa FIFA, Rre Jack Warner e neile setlhopha Makana boloko ba tlotla mogo FIFA. Tebogo ya ga Mandela go FIFA e tlhagisitswe ka molaetsa oo gatisitsweng mogo sesirong se se golo sa ditshwantsho.
‘Ka dingwaga tse ditshosang tsa bogolegwa ba rona, lekgotla la Makana le atumeditse bagolegwa mmogo ka motshameko o montle wa kgwele ya maoto.

O buile fa a le motlotlo go akarediwa mo thulaganyong ya motshameko oo, ka gonne a ithutile gole gontsi mogo Mandela.
A tswelela ka gore ‘Re sthwanetswe ke go tlotlomatsa Mandela ka go tsweletsa ntwa kgatlhanong le kgethololo le tlhotlhololo ya batho. MoLaberia, Rre George Weah, yo o neng ele motshameki wa lefatshe dingwaga dile dintsi, yoo neng a itsege ka teko ya gagwe ya gonna Mopresidente wa Liberia ene o rile ‘Ke ngwana (son) waga Mandela’.
O nkgothaditse e bile o kgaratlhetse kontinente ya rona”. O kgothaditse dimilione tsa batho mo lefatsheng. Ka dingwaga dile 45, mogapi wa sekgele sa European Footballer of the year, wa moDutch, Rre Ruud gullit o rile se a ithutileng sone ka botshelo jwaga Mandela ke gore tshepo e nna e le teng ka metlha, Ga o itshepa, mme o dira ka natla go bona dilo tse di siameng mo botshelong, o tlile go atlega. Maduo a motshameko e ne ele tse tharo kwa matlhakoreng otlhe.
