Mandela receives notebooks he wrote in prison more than 30 years ago

A former police officer who helped jail Nelson Mandela 40 years ago has returned to him two notebooks of letters written in prison. "Thirty-three years have flown by since 1971 when I put these two notebooks on my wardrobe," retired officer Donald Card said at Tuesday's opening of the Nelson Mandela Center of Memory and Commemoration Card told the former president he had waited more than three decades to return the notebooks in which Mandela wrote drafts of prison letters between February 1969 and April 1971.
