The anti-apartheid icon spent 27 years in prison before becoming South Africa\u2019s first black president in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds from the sale of the clothing line items will be used to help sustain the foundation\u2019s charitable gifts.<\/p>\n<p>The money will help the foundation\u2019s sustainability, Dangor told the AP, revealing that last year it had been forced to stop supporting projects in Ghana and Tanzania.<\/p>\n<p>He said Mandela\u2019s image would not appear on any of the clothing.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dangor, 46664 will be available online, for sale internationally in August.<\/p>\n<p>Prices of the Mandela wear ranges from $26 to $200 depending on the product type.<\/p>\n<p>By Ekow Quandzie<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/03\/10\/nelson-mandela-goes-into-fashion-business\/emailpopup\/\" title=\"Email\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"WP-EmailIcon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ab3ba3b2email.gif\" alt=\"Email\" title=\"Email\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/03\/10\/nelson-mandela-goes-into-fashion-business\/print\/\" title=\"Print This Story\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"WP-PrintIcon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/5c1a45c5r_famfamfam.gif\" alt=\"Print This Story\" title=\"Print This Story\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n  | <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Currently reading http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/03\/10\/nelson-mandela-goes-into-fashion-business\/\" title=\"Click to send this page to Twitter!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tweet This!<\/a> |<br \/>\n\t\t<!--\n\t\t<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\"\n\t\t\txmlns:dc=\"http:\/\/purl.org\/dc\/elements\/1.1\/\"\n\t\t\txmlns:trackback=\"http:\/\/madskills.com\/public\/xml\/rss\/module\/trackback\/\">\n\t\t<rdf:Description rdf:about=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/03\/10\/nelson-mandela-goes-into-fashion-business\/\"\n    dc:identifier=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/03\/10\/nelson-mandela-goes-into-fashion-business\/\"\n    dc:title=\"Nelson Mandela goes into fashion business\"\n    trackback:ping=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/03\/10\/nelson-mandela-goes-into-fashion-business\/trackback\/\" \/>\n<\/rdf:RDF>\t\t--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Comments<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t<!-- You can start editing here. --><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/cf598b19mandela.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Go here to see the original:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/03\/10\/nelson-mandela-goes-into-fashion-business\/\" title=\"Nelson Mandela goes into fashion business\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nelson Mandela goes into fashion business<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> You Are Here: Home \u00bb Africa\/International \u00bb Nelson Mandela goes into fashion business Page last updated at Thursday, March 10, 2011 7:07 AM \/\/ Former South African President, Nelson Mandela has moved into fashion with his foundation launching its first international clothing line \u201c46664\u201d in South Africa on March 8, 2011. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-298325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
