R.I.P MADIBA

 
We celebrate your life, what you did for Africa and its people and, more than this, we celebrate the dignified and compassionate way in which you did it. 

Your journey through life showed us what the human spirit can achieve. A long walk to freedom, not only for the body, but also for the spirit. 

Thank you for your life. May our lives be the reflection of your life. We love you.
