Farewell Madiba

Blessed are the peacemakers... The end of a defining era led by a man of conviction who was honoured the world over by rich and poor alike. May those who follow honour his great legacy and build on a great foundation carved out patience and longsuffering. A giant, who transcended racial divide and ideology as he stood for principles that were more than simply politics. He lived out his ideals and created a future many have benefited from and hopefully many still will. He was both an idealist and a pragmatist and an example to all of the power of forgiveness and the strength to be gained by creating unity behind a common vision.
