[governance] Mandela: a giant passes

[Dave Kissoondoyal]

Throughout his 95 years, Nelson Mandela has spoken words that ring true for
many of us - about equality, about compassion, and about creating change.

We have lost a hero who fought for the rights of all people, and touched
millions in the process. We will miss him, but we will not forget his
incredible work and the legacy he left behind.

Nelson Mandela leaves a legacy of equality, democracy and education. It is
incredibly important that all of us take his passing not as an end of an
age, but as a renewed determination to carry on his work every day.

Not only South Africa is saddened by this loss but the whole world including
our country Mauritius, which has very close ties with South Africa.

 

Our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the Mandela family and to
the whole South African Nation. May the departed soul rest in peace. -

Dear all,

 

For a list like this, I would have thought that the passing a way of Mandela
last night (Fr.) would have been headline news this morning. Since no one
has woken up yet to say so, I am. As The Economist put it simply: "A giant
passes."

 

Please join me in expressing our since and heartfelt condolences to all of
humanity on the passing away of a true giant of Africa and one who will,
eternally, be an inspiration to all those fighting for justice.

 

Katim
