"Mandela Day" is a song by the rock band Simple Minds. It was included in the single "Ballad of the Streets" EP which reached No.1 on the British charts in February 1989 and in their album Street Fighting Years.

It has since been performed on most of the band's subsequent tours. [6] "Love Song" became Simple Minds' first single to enter the UK Top 50 - peaking at #47 in August 1981.
