A Tribute to Madiba

We may have lost our Nelson, but we still have our Desmond… and Thandi and Mohommed and Koos and every ordinary South African who knows that we live in a blessed nation that produces such inspirational people.

South Africa is the kind of country that receives a young lawyer called Mohandas Karamchand Ghandi, but sends back the Mahatma; that allows a herdboy to become Tata to a world, let alone a nation.

You are a part of those same people and that same nation and in your own way, the work we do here and the values we share, pay homage to the principles our role models asked us to live up to.

Nelson Mandela has done his part, now let us do ours.
