Wise Words....In view of his successors Mbeki and Zuma in presidency.....

He was admirable for being able to forgive after 27 years in prison, fight against the system which was introduced during the colonialism (which was the root of the Apartheid (and I know what I am talking about, I grew up in that place in the 70's and 80's) and being able to bring "white", "black" and "coloured" together.

His social competence and political instinct made way for a new constitution in 1994.....and should be an inspiration for all politicians nowadays who are only interested in protecting the interests of their party and not representing the people who originally voted them.


Rest in Peace, the world has lost a fine Statesman
