Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa's first black President on May 10th, 1994. During his presidency, Mandela headed a Government of National Unity, which was dominated by the ANC. Mandela also donated nearly two-thirds of his salary to the Nelson Mandela's Children Fund, which he founded in 1995. Mandela went one step further to ensure racial harmony by the additions of several different ethnicities to his cabinet. Mandela also oversaw the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate crimes committed under apartheid legislature. In exchange for testimonies of crimes during the Apartheid era, individual amnesties were granted. Mandela praised the Commission's work, stating that it "had helped us move away from the past to concentrate on the present and the future."
