Today is a day of remembrance; a great world leader has passed on to another realm. The Hero of South Africa and 27 year political prisoner Nelson Mandela has passed at 95 years old.
2. Nelson Mandela was the first democratically elected
President of South Africa.
He was the leader and the face of the Anti- Apartheid
movement and all through his life, he insistently fought
against cultural discrimination.
His determination, focus and will-power were remarkable
that even after serving almost 30 years in jail, he got out
and worked again for what was right.
He came out as a hero and led the country into a free,
equal future
3.
4. Mandela has an extraordinary personality of very rare
human qualities.
Mandela was the man for the people, for the media,
for the black South Africans and for the Africans in
general Mandela's relationship with the media is
probably unique for a world leader.
It had become conventional wisdom in some political
circles that image-making work was Mandela's chief
role as president - raising funds and promoting trade
and investment.
5. He stood strong and unshakeable all those years in
prison, a man who rewarded his enemies with love
and for that commands great respect all over the
world .
Mandela has proved to the world that Africans are
the most civilized people on earth
6. Lack of freedom
Nelson Mandela was jailed for 27 years, his time in jail was
a weakness as it was too long, and he did not have the
capacity to fight against there people while in prison.
Scandals and Mistakes
During Mandela’s era of leading the nation, his
government was hit by some scandals and he also made
errors of judgment through having his ministers earn
higher salaries which lead to accusations of greed and the
allegations damaged his government.
7. Lack of Communication
While Mandela was in prison it was difficult for him
to keep in touch with his followers and was often
dangerous at that time, talking was usually
prohibited, newspapers and radio transmissions were
forbidden, and letters were heavily censored, lack of
communication with his followers drew him back
from knowing how the ANC(African National
Congress) was doing.
8. Lead from the front
He is thinking way ahead of us. He was thinking in terms
of not days and weeks but decades. it was just a question
of how soon and how it would be achieved. He always
played for the long run.
Know your enemy
Mandela began studying Afrikaans, the language of the
white South Africans who created apartheid. Mandela
wanted to understand the Afrikaner's worldview.
9. Nothing is black or white
He tells the world that there is no difference between black
and white skin all have equal rights in the society. And even
they teach their followers to don’t take any revenge
against any actions from their enemies.
Appearance of him
Mandela always remember from their happy smiling face,
he was the first black South African he had ever seen being
fitted for a suit. Now Mandela's uniform is a series of
exuberant-print shirts that declare him the joyous
grandfather of modern Africa.
10. The leadership of Nelson Mandela has never forgotten
and his devotion to democracy, equality and
learning.. His life has been an inspiration, in South
Africa and throughout the world,.. He has sacrificed
his private life and his youth for his people, and
remains South Africa's best known and loved hero. All
in all I think Mandela is one of the great moral and
political leaders of our time.
