Fidel Castro has won the South African Ubuntu award for his contributions to “humankind beyond boundaries.”
Castro won the award “for the role he played in the Cuban revolution and worldwide contribution to the struggle for an alternative, just and humane society,” the statement said.
According to our research on the award, which was first given in 2006 to Nelson Mandela, there seems to be little relation to the award and the current realities of Cuba, rather it seems to be focused on Cuba and Castro’s international work, specifically African liberation struggles.
