The death of Nelson Mandela was met with a unique sadness by former Senator and former Governor Lowell Weicker. Weicker was arrested for protesting apartheid in South Africa. Years later, Weicker was one of a handful of Americans personally invited by Mandela to his inauguration.

Governor Weicker spoke exclusively to WFSB about Mandela’s death. Here is that interview: http://www.wfsb.com/video?clipId=9606309&autostart=true

We will also have more from Weicker, this Sunday on Face the State.
