| 90 th Birthday Message To Former President Nelson Mandela On the occasion of celebrating your 90 th birthday, humanity is graced by your presence which continues to embody the values of human triumph over adversity and injustice. The nation and the entire world draw inspiration from your leadership and contribution towards building a free and democratic South Africa that cherishes the ideals of human dignity, human rights and liberties that all South Africans are enjoying today. As a global icon of forgiveness, peace and reconciliation, you continue to illuminate and give hope and the vision for a better world, free from devastating conflicts, human oppression, poverty and injustice. South Africa continues to entrench your legacy of building a united, non-racial and non-sexist society that upholds the values of equality, racial harmony, and empowerment of the poor in our society. It is the legacy that will continue to inspire many generations to come. We are blessed by lessons of exemplary leadership
roles you have demonstrated to focus human endeavours on alleviating the
plight of the poor and the downtrodden so that, they too, are presented
with opportunities to develop to their full potential. Your demonstrated
commitment to social upliftment causes has brought relief and hope to
children, those infected and affected by HIV/ AIDS, and the poor in
general. Your integrity, honesty, generosity, and magnanimity of spirit
remain indelible virtues of leadership that all leaders seek to emulate. |
