I’m
raising my hand in solidarity singing the words of Hugh Masekela: “Bring back Nelson Mandela. Bring him back
to Soweto. I want to see him walking down the street in South Africa. Tomorrow.
Bring back Nelson Mandela ….”
Africa
has lost one of its greatest statesmen. A leader who chose a 27-year
imprisonment over compromising his principles, so that others born in the same country as he
would taste freedom, and experience democracy. A leader who sampled the sweet
lure of power after 27 years of confinement in an isolated jail cell. Nelson
Mandela tasted life in the highest office of his land, South Africa. And
graciously relinquished that power after a mere five (5) years. Preferring that some other more vibrant, more able, could bring to his people what He, Mandela, had
spent 27 years being imprisoned for—Wanting the Best for His People.
Blessings and peace,
