It's written in their official website "Happy Birthday Mandela":

This honorable great leader, Nelson Mandela, once refused to receive the Atatürk Peace Award in 1992 by Turkey. He refused the Award because bad treatment of Turkish goverment toward Kurdish people and human rights violations committed by Turkey.
The official Site of The African National Congress said:
"STATEMENT ON THE ATATURK AWARD GIVEN TO Nelson Mandela
The African National Congress is aware of the announcement by the Government of Turkey that the Ataturk Award will be presented to ANC President on 19 May.
Nelson Mandela has spent his whole life in the service of democracy, human rights and freedom from oppression.
The ANC wishes to state quite categorically that Mr Mandela has not accepted the Ataturk Award, and has no plans to visit Turkey. The ANC's attitude does not reflect any negative view of Kemal Ataturk, the reformer and founder of modern Turkey."
And look what they said to this great man when he refused the Award:
The 'Ataturk Peace Award', which has been awarded since 1984, was awarded to Nelson Mandela in 1992 for being anti-racist and a hero. When he refused the award because of the oppression of the Kurds, he was called "An insolent African", "An ugly African" and "The terrorist Mandela".
But later accepted the award in 1999, after intensive pressure by international community.
Happy Birthday Sir, may our world fill with people like you....
