National League of Cities Statement on Passing of Nelson Mandela

By

Clarence Anthony, executive director, National League of Cities said; “We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of former South African President Nelson Mandela earlier today. The world has lost a great leader who inspired and brought hope to so many people around the globe for his unyielding pursuit of righteousness, truth and equality. His uncompromising devotion to human rights will serve as a beacon for us all to follow for many years to come. Our thoughts are with his family and the people of South Africa during this difficult time.”

The National League of Cities (NLC) is dedicated to helping city leaders build better communities. NLC is a resource and advocate for 19,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million Americans.

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.
