Remembering Mandela

“ The day he was released from prison it gave me a sense of what human beings can do when they're guided by their hopes and not by their fears. And like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set. ”

Barack Obama
United States President

“ Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father. Although we knew that this day would come, nothing can diminish our sense of a profound and enduring loss. His tireless struggle for freedom earned him the respect of the world. ”

Jacob Zuma
South African President

“ South Africa was more than blessed to have a leader such as this man where a country could transition peacefully. Because of him and those like my uncle, I am free today. ”

“ Perhaps only now will South Africans feel they can vote for parties other than the African National Congress without betraying Madiba. ”
