#WDMS – What did Nelson Mandela say about South Africa?

By

“At the southern tip of the continent, a rich reward is in the making, an invaluable gift is in the preparation, for those who suffered in the name of all humanity when they sacrificed everything – for liberty, peace, human dignity and human fulfillment. The value of our shared reward will and must be measured by the joyful peace which will triumph, because of the common humanity that bonds both black and white into one human race, will have said to each one of us that we shall all live like the children of paradise.” ~ Acceptance speech at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony, Norway, 10 December 1993

“South Africans must recall the terrible past so that we can deal with it, forgiving where forgiveness is necessary but never forgetting.” ~ Nelson Mandela, on leaving office as South African president, 15 June 1999

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
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.
