"Do not allow pain and loss, to stop the process of living." These are the words of Trent Thomas. Wise words considering the medical condition of our African hero and Father, Nelson Mandela also known as Madiba.
This is the second day since Madiba was hospitalised for a lung infection. His condition is serious though he's reported to be stable. The 94 year old has fought the good fight and maybe it is high time we said our goodbyes and bid him goodbye since he is clearly in a lot of pain.
As Madiba said, "I have walked that
long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps
along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a
great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb." And as it is apparently clear that this legend has climbed his mountains and he has set the pace for us to follow.
Nelson Mandela fought the good fight against apartheid and as a result was imprisoned for 27 good years. He passed on the mantle of good leadership as he retired from presidency after one presidential term unlike many African leaders. He spoke out against discrimination of any form and was clearly one of the greatest freedom fighters.
Therefore as Africans and people of the world it is time we thanked this legend for all he has done as he passes on the mantle to the youth. his legacy of freedom fighting and great leadership skills will leave a great impact on us and generations to come.
