Almere has five namings: Mandela Park, the Mandela Tree, Mandela Square, Mandela Lane and the Mandela Garage; a national record. In 1986 council member Jan de Vetter (D66) asked the mayor to name something after \u2018those brave people trying to end apartheid in South Africa.\u2019 In the same year it was agreed that the park opposite central station would be named Mandela Park. A plaque honoured Winnie as well as Nelson, but this was not replaced after the redevelopment. In 2011 the Mandela Tree was replanted in Mandela Square, in the presence of Amnesty International Almere. The 40 year-old African amber had been moved to Landos Drive two years earlier, while the original site was redeveloped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
