EDITOR – Great leader and passionate peacemaker, along with all the other attributes we today recall of past President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, the founder father of South African democracy.
The sad tidings stir a different emotion in all South Africans today.
The reason for the struggle icon’s life is not only well known but extremely profound and sincerely appreciated all in many different ways.
Personally the sad passing of Madiba brings his love for sport to mind and in the backdrop of the turbulence in the South African game of politics today, the great leader is calling for time out as in a baseball or volleyball match. The man of the soil Madiba is calling the people of all political opinion to regroup, have a team talk, gather new breath and play for the team and not the glory. South Africa is more important than any political party or ideological persuasion.
