Inkosi Albert John Lutuli (commonly spelled Luthuli; c. 1898 – 21 July 1967), also known by his Zulu name Mvumbi, was a South African teacher, activist, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and politician. Luthuli was elected president of the African National Congress (ANC), at the time an umbrella organisation that led opposition to the white minority government in South Africa. He was awarded the 1960 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the non-violent struggle against apartheid. He was the first African, and the first person from outside Europe and the Americas, to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Interesting fact
The 25 Riyals - Rashid (Albert Luthuli) ND (1970) coin from Ajman (United Arab Emirates) is a non-circulating coin made of gold (.900) and weighs 5.18g. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Albert Luthuli, a South African anti-apartheid activist and former President of the African National Congress, on its obverse side. This coin was issued to commemorate Luthuli's life and legacy, and its design was inspired by his contributions to the fight against racism and discrimination.
