Mandela did not have "12 disciples". He was a political leader, not a religious one. He is, however, part of a group that was organized as "The Elders" in 2007. The group currently consists of:
- Desmond Tutu, (Chair) Archbishop of Cape Town and former Chair of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
- Martti Ahtisaari, former President of Finland, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
- Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
- Ela Bhatt, founder of the Self-Employed Women's Association of India (SEWA)
- Lakhdar Brahimi, former Foreign Minister of Algeria and former United Nations envoy
- Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway and former Director General of the World Health Organization
- Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former President of Brazil
- Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
- Graça Machel, former Minister of Education of Mozambique, President of the Foundation for Community Development and wife of Nelson Mandela
- Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
Honorary Elders:
- Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
- Aung San Suu Kyi, Burmese opposition leader and former political prisoner, General Secretary of the National League for Democracy, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
Former Elders:
Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank founder and microcredit pioneer, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
The list totals 13 people including Mandela, but they are his associates, not his disciples.
