Nelson Mandela bans Naomi Campbell from his 90th birthday concert
New York, June 26 (ANI): Nelson Mandela has banned catwalk queen Naomi Campbell from appearing on stage at his 90th birthday concert.
According to the Daily Mail of London, the former South African leader told organisers to take the 38-year-old supermodel off the bill for London's Hyde Park charity event after she was fined and sentenced to 200 hours' community service for assaulting two police officers on board a British Airways flight at Heathrow in April.
