I can’t help but think that the immense excitement about Nelson Rolihlala Mandela’s 94th Birthday will result in in making some of his erstwhile colleagues a tad jealous.
The outpouring of love is humbling to see. Along with an immense effort by what seems like every person in the world with access to a computer to wish Madiba a Happy Birthday one can only hope for good things for South Africa.

It’s those who do good and don’t want to be noticed (unlike most celebrities on Mandela Day) that are the ones truly honouring NM.

I never “met” the old man, but we were in the same room and I got a nod and smile. I cried in the car on the way back. Happy Birthday Madiba
