The greatest son of South Africa, a hero, a father to many,
a symbol of forgiveness, an icon, the ever smiling…there a not enough words in
the dictionary to describe this beloved statesman, Nelson Rolihlahla Madiba
Mandela.
” Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he
considers to be his duty to his people and country, he can rest in peace”
Nelson Mandela. If we were all granted a gift to take a peek into the land of
spirits, I believe we will see him rejoicing…like the Indian Proverb goes, “When
you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way so that
when you die, the world cries and you rejoice”. The world cries today…Nelson
Mandela sleeps in rejoicing peace.
Madiba’s life was a great example of unity and his death is
no different. Today South Africa and the world unite in mourning of his death
and also celebrate his extraordinary life.
It was really an honour to have lived in his time however
short it might have been. Thank you Rolihlahla for inventing a compass of forgiveness,
love, unity, leadership and selflessness.
Lala Ngoxolo Tata.
