Long abstract	ANC President Nelson Mandela paid a long-awaited working visit to Denmark from 4-6 February 1992. Buller and I accompanied him throughout his stay. There was general agreement among all parties involved that it was a very exciting visit, a unique experience. Also, for Mandela himself. It was especially in meetings and gatherings with the so-called ordinary Danes that he was surprised by the widespread enthusiasm and recognition he experienced everywhere. As we left the Workers’ Museum in Rømersgade on a cold and drizzly evening and were about to get into the car, suddenly there was singing from a small group of people sheltering in the cold weather under a streetlamp by the museum.
