The US rocker, Ed Kowalczyk, can’t wait to meet Nelson Mandela.

The lead singer of Live and the other members of the band — Chad Taylor, Patrick Dahlheimer, Chad Gracey and Adam Kowalczyk — are ready for their big performance at this year’s 46664 concert at Ellis Park on December 1.

Speaking to The Times from Los Angeles, Kowalczyk said the band were really excited about their upcoming trip.

“I am looking forward to meeting Nelson Mandela. He is one of those people whose ideals are shared by so many people in the world and whatever cause he is behind he does with such passion.”

The 46664 concert, named after Mandela’s former Robben Island prison number, was launched several years ago by the former president and is aimed at raising funds for those living with HIV/Aids.

Kowalczyk said Live was scheduled to have lunch with Madiba a few days before the concert.

“Being part of the concert is our contribution to the fight against HIV/Aids. After getting the e-mail that invited us to the concert I just had this overwhelming feeling. It was such an honour to be invited,” he said.
