Was Nelson Mandela a FreeMason?

i am of the mind that mr. mandela's body should be dissected and portioned out to labs around the globe for research.

not really, but since mr. mandela's masonic affiliation has seemingly landed this thread in 'conspiracy country', why not say it :)

for those of you unaware, mr. mandela may have played a roll in ending apartheid in south africa, but he was unable to do anything to free Henrietta Lacks, a black woman born in roanoke, virginia, usa, from her continued imprisonment and exploitation via experimentation on her, and whose only 'crime' was developing cancer.

while many have stood by and done nothing to end this slavery, some of us still think of Henrietta and her seemingly endless torture.
