Madiba and the building of Africa´s self-confidence

Nelson Mandela achieved many great things. But there is one that is not fully understood by us in the Western world.

He gave the African people, men and women, self-confidence. People throughout Africa looked at Madiba, gained poise and dignity. Said differently, as they became aware of his example, they could finally believe that Africans can make it, transform their lives and critically contribute to changing the world for the better. 

Mandela is an inspiration

Mandela Day: very well celebrated in many parts of the world. One should feel great for that. And one should also feel good and proud because Mandela has shown that an African can be a global example for peace, justice and freedom.  He has also reminded us that there are politicians that mean well and are truly concerned with the betterment of their people. 

Mandela, an exemplary leader

Our thoughts today are with Nelson Mandela. We owe him much, as an exemplary leader and a politician that transformed his time, not to feel very sorry as he struggles with illness and old age.
