Nelson Mandela Arrives in Libya

/

22 Oct. 1997
Shortwave from Libya as recorded in Australia.

Ian Holder: "I recorded this shortwave broadcast from Libya in 1997. I have no knowledge of the source of the broadcast but it may be from the main Libyan radio service. I found this while twisting the dial. There was no general commentary, just the voice of South African President Nelson Mandela on his arrival in Libya followed by music".

Recorded off-air by Ian Holder, Australia.
