A key part of what transformed Davos from a place where third-rate ministers from second-rate countries gathered with a crowd of largely European business executives to a place where major political leaders flocked to be with a truly global business elite was the very real tie that was forged with Nelson Mandela in the 1990s.
There are two wonderful stories from when Mandela first came to Davos in 1992, less than two years after he was freed from prison.
