International News Norway: Mandela to Attend Concert in His HonorJanuary 31, 2005 Nelson Mandela has said he will attend an AIDS concert benefiting his 46664 charity in the Arctic city of Tromsoe, city officials announced Friday. The campaign takes its name from the number Mandela was assigned when imprisoned under apartheid. Organizers have yet to set a program for the concert, scheduled for June 11, but hope to draw some of the world's biggest stars to Tromsoe, a city about 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle. "It means a great deal to us and for the event that Nelson Mandela wants to visit Tromsoe," said city Mayor Herman Kristoffersen.
