New bank notes featuring former president Nelson Mandela will enter circulation on November 6, the SA Reserve Bank said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“The Reserve Bank is proud to be able to honour South Africa’s struggle icon and first democratically elected president in this way,” SARB governor Gill Marcus said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Our currency is a unique symbol of our nationhood, with many of us handling banknotes every day.”<\/p>\n

The new banknotes feature Mandela on the front and pictures of the “Big Five” animals on the back, SARB said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The new banknotes will circulate with the existing currency and both will be legal tender.<\/p>\n

The launch has been preceded by a public awareness campaign that includes television, radio and print advertisements as well as electronic media and social networking.<\/p>\n

There have also been roadshow and events throughout the country and abroad in Swaziland, Namibia, Lesotho, Mozambique, Botswana and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
