I can\u2019t help but think that the immense excitement about Nelson Rolihlala Mandela\u2019s 94th Birthday will result in in making some of his erstwhile colleagues a tad jealous.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Leave your memories and birthday wishes for Madiba here: Happy Birthday Madiba<\/a><\/p>\n

Port Elizabeth University\u2019s NMMU<\/a> choir sing a special song to Madiba:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s those who do good and don\u2019t want to be noticed (unlike most celebrities on Mandela Day) that are the ones truly honouring NM.<\/span>
