HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANDELA

THIS 18th of July 2013 marks the 95th birthday of global icon, Nelson Mandela, as well as the 4th International Nelson Mandela Day.

This is by far the highly anticipated birthday of the anti-apartheid icon as it has found the Great Madiba in a critical but stable condition with a recurring lung infection in a Pretoria hospital.

We say Happy Birthday to one of the greatest and bravest men of our time. Happy birthday to a man who sacrificed everything for the rights of black South Africans to be treated like human beings.

Blessings to you Mr. Mandela! You are a force to be reckoned with. A force for peace. A force for freedom. A force for love of our fellow man. The Ghandi of Africa! A spiritual leader as great as the Dalai Lama!

You have taught the world humility and respect!  Your words of courage and perseverance not only enlightened us about the human condition, they helped to unite a country, beyond what we could see.

Thank you Tata for showing us the true meaning of the spirit of Ubuntu. Thank you Madiba for reviving within us a spirit of perseverance even in the face of imprisonment and sacrifice. You have taught us a great many lessons but to realize that the mind is never in a prison the body can be forced to live in...was simply amazing.

Happy Birthday The Great Madiba and we pray for your speed recovery.
