Now is the time to reminisce about those who have sacrificed alot for us to have a peaceful and worthwhile life to live today. Those who at the expenses of their comfort made for sure that we the then unborn generations could have a chance to live harmoniously in peace.
Many ages past when the salient talk of the moment then was about the man who some people thought had got some mental imbalances for him to be threatening the colonialism of the whites in Africa. He fervently fought against those who seize the rights to freedom from his people. Even at the point where South Africa was at the verge of segregating during the ugly face of the Apartheid, with him thrown to wallow in the gallows. I bet he must have felt like he was born into a " world of doom " through facing all kinds of hosts of evil from those who threw him behind bars. However he made for sure that he achieved his goals, the freedom he wanted for his people and most of all the peace we all want in our lives.
It was quite unbelievably shocking that this man said that on his acquittal, "there shouldn't be any conditions attached that he would do before he could earn the freedom for his people"...Oohh how patroitic, he knew what was right and he went for it . He had a heart that would never be restrained by social or economic injustices. Not just that, he had a remarkably forgiving ability as to forgive those 27 years jailers in Robben Island prison.
After being behind bars for almost three decades. He got out and became the first elected black president of South Africa. He ruled for just a single term fulfilling the promise he made on entering the office of presidency. He was a fair, serene and simple ruler.
Although he is gone, but he would forever be remembered in the hearts of many as a man who gave hope to everyone.
We all know that he is "A sung hero" of all nations...I'd recall a comment that president Obama made that "he was a personal hero and I cant imagine my life without him because he was an inspiration ".
Former South African president F.W. de Klerk, who was the last white president of the country before Mandela came to power, had nothing but praise for the 'father' of the country.
Former prime minister of the United Kingdom said "the world has lost one of its finests ruler of all times " A man who had respect for human dignity.....Nelson Mandela.
Everyone sends heartfelt sympathy to the Nelson Mandela family as he joins the ages. A name given to him by his hometown people. He is......"Madiba".
