A personal tribute to Nelson Mandela

By

Mandela has earned his spot in the hall of legends, he is one of a handful of people that that has influenced the landscape of humanity in so many ways. He has been a source of inspiration to so many people on so many levels and will never be forgotten.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
