Nelson Mandela
A global icon, an inspirational leader , an extraordinary and a true hero. A nation in mourning Nelson Mandela. In 1943 he joined the African National Congress. He led struggle against South Africa's apartheid regime. Madiba played a leading role in drive for world peace. He made racism 'not just immoral but stupid', said former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. A remarkable man he was; a massive figure. Yesterday, world leaders and celebrities paying tribute to Mandela.
''His contribution on HIV Aids was massive'', added Blair. The former state man was admitted on June 8 to September 1, 2013, at Medi Clinic heart hospital in Pretoria for occurring lung infection. On December 06, crowds gathered outside his home in Houghton to pay tributes and celebrate former state man's life. ''The task of ANC was to unite people'', said Nelson Mandela.
In May 10, 1994, Mandela was inaugurated as the president of South Africa. A profound and enduring loss, his humanity and compassion will forever be remembered. His humility has brought the nation together; our thoughts are with millions of people who embrace Mandela as one of their own. President Zuma has declared a national state funeral, ten days of mourning and all flags will fly half-mast until after funeral [started on the 06 December]. Let us all strive and live with dignity and respect Madiba personified.
Rest in Peace Our Beloved Father-Leader... May your Long Walk to Freedom be Endured.
Thank You For Everything!
