A bipartisan congressional delegation will travel to South Africa this week to pay their respects to anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, who died Thursday at age 95. The group of 24 congressmen will be led by GOP Rep. Aaron Schock, who said in a Sunday statement he will forever be inspired by Mandela's "Forgiveness, leadership, and class." The congressmen will leave D.C. Monday afternoon and will attend the state memorial service for Mandela on Tuesday in Johannesburg. The congressmen going besides Schock and Cruz are Reps.
