Johanneburg - The African National Congress Youth League has congratulated former South African president Nelson Mandela on his 87th birthday.

Mandela, who will turn 87 on Monday, is "a great icon who personified the struggle for freedom and the aspirations of ordinary South Africans", the ANCYL said on Sunday.

"As Madiba celebrates his birthday, we celebrate another day of being blessed with his presence and continue to draw inspiration from his exemplary leadership," the party said.

Mandela will spend his birthday at home with his family in Qunu in the Eastern Cape.
