His name is Nelson Mandela, one of the world's living giants known for his fight for social injustice in the form of racism and Apartheid in South Africa. Mandela’s life is a legacy for all who knows what oppression is and with that said, he will forever be remembered as far as his struggles, love, and service for the good of his people in South Africa are concerned. He was born into a noble tribe and family and is a son of a chief who grew to see the evil of apartheid in his country, humbled himself in the midst of setbacks and fought for change for good. Earlier this month, the 94 year old and the first President and anti-apartheid activist got admitted into Pretoria Hospital in South Africa for a lung infection. After a week it was said he was getting better until two days now his conditions got critical. As I write this, he is said to be on life support (http://www.aljazeera.com/watch_now/)
Now we have well-wishers across the world sending in their best wishes to him to feel better.
Nelson Mandela will always remain dear to the hearts of many not just in his country but the entire world for his intellects, wisdom, and humility. He went to prison in the Robben’s Island for over 18 years and then to another prison totaling 28 years all in prisons. When he was finally released, he forgave his oppressors, refused to be bitter and resentful, but stood up and fought for the rights and freedom for his people. After which he got to be the first black President of South Africa.
Please remember to pray for him and whatever happens Mandela will always be revered for his contributions for the good of humanity.Nelson Mandela we all love, admire, and we are praying for you.
