You are the face of human hope– Long live Nelson Mandela!

It’s a source of inspiration to humankind that Nelson Mandela even at the twilight of his life has not forgotten poor and reminded rich their duty. Just when growing numbers possibly started forgetting, reports started pouring from different corners and his inimitable voice reverberates: “There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty”. At his age and achievements beside own name, many will prefer to just pass the remaining days of life in solitude. But the 27-springs that he spent in jail have reinforced the spirit of realization day in and day out and he emerged from his ‘quiet reflection’ just to remind the duty of fortunate few. It is this spirit before which the mighty apartheid regime bent down on its knees–and not for without reasons, the last ruler of apartheid regime has portrayed him as one of the greatest figures of the last century. It was this spirit with which he could embrace a multicultural democracy even when he had total control of events after his presidential inauguration. And that very moment Nelson Mandela could easily surpassed the fine divide to be the leader of black and white alike.

You are the cardinal light for oppressed crowd, the hope for demoralized soul, the voice of exploited mass, the courage of intimidated mob. You are the face for human hope– Long live Nelson Mandela!
