(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka Guardian) - Suren Surendiran was elated when the South African officials announced the list of international delegations present at the funeral of Nelson Mandela, that included Global Tamil Forum (GTF) "as represented", but he failed to mention whom it was representing. GTF held talks with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and has been “officially invited” to “represent Tamils” at the funeral of former South African President Nelson Mandela. GTF Director and spokesperson Suren Surendran held talks with Obed Bopela, Deputy Minister in the Presidency. He is also Chairman of ANC’s International Relations Division. Suren also signed the official book of condolence during Mandela’s funeral.
