Biography ๐Ÿ“… 29 November 2003 ๐Ÿ“ South Africa

The first 46664 concert brought musicians and tens of thousands of attendees together at Green Point Stadium to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS. Mandela used the event to insist that silence and shame were barriers to care. The number recalled his imprisonment, turning a symbol of state control into a public platform for solidarity and health advocacy.
