Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as the first black president from 1994 to 1999. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalised racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. He served as the President of the African National Coingress (ANC) from 1991 to 1997. Internationally, Mandela was the Secretary General of a non-aligned movement from 1998-1999. Mandela served 27 years in prison, first on Robben Island, and later in Pollsmoor and Victor Verster Prison.
The 94-year-old Nobel Peace Prize icon has been battling with a recurring lung infection and has been in hospital for 19 days. Doctors and nurses and specialists have been monitoring his health. My concern is that as a nation we holding onto our hero, but I think its time for South Africans, including the nation to let him go, he has served his time on earth and has done his part......Thankyou Tata for healing, paving the way for democracy, equlaity, freedom, insipiring the young and old to be educated and emancipate themselves from the racial chains of the past. Because of you we are a generation born with vast choices, love and equality, and although as a country we have not rectified that we created, we are still working on ourselves and the country....you had faith and dream for South to work, and we will stride for a better tomorrow. Nelson Rolihlahla Madiba Tata Mandela...lulama.
