AN EXEMPLARY AFRICAN LEADER'S BIRTHDAY: NELSON MANDELA


"In my youth in the Transkei I listened to the elders of my tribe telling stories of the old days. Amongst the tales they related to me were those of wars fought by our ancestors in defence of the fatherland...I hoped then that life may offer me the opportunity to serve my people and make my own humble contribution to their freedom struggle. This is what has motivated me in all that I have done."


Nelson Mandela
18th July 1918
