Mandela - An Icon, A Legend - An end of an Era

Today as we mourn the passing of the father of our nation – Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela a true Son of the Soil

 
We are all aware that Mr. Mandela spent nearly three decades in prison and was an icon of reconciliation and forgiveness when we founded a democratic South Africa.  While he was a statesman of international renown and a symbol of our nation, it was his dignity and humanity that served as a profound example to all people everywhere inspiring them to follow his moral compass.

 
While we mourn him and feel deeply saddened by our loss, it is also important to celebrate his life and his sacrifices in the best way we can and to be inspired by his humility and leadership.
