Dear Jan
Just a short note to wish you well in your upcoming IBF World Junior Welterweight Championship fight against Konstantin Tzyu.
As you prepare for the decisive moment of your career, remember that all South Africans are with you. South African sportspersons continue to set new trends in their performances at international level, and we see you fight as further evidence of our sporting prowess.
When you step into that ring, the whole nation will be cheering your every move. You will be flying the Rainbow Flag - the flag of champions.
As you take this opportunity for which you have waited so long, know that your country is proud to have you as our ambassador.
As much as we would be very happy with a win, we call for nothing more than your best performance.
Sincerely N R Mandela President Republic of South Africa
