Adieu to a World Icon, Madiba



A lot has been said and heard, written and read and yet we seem to long for more, it’s like it’s never too much when it comes to this ‘MAN’, unarguably one of the greatest men of our time. An embodiment of justice, selflessness, righteousness, I bet words alone cannot describe what he stood for. He was actually one of the truly extraordinary statesmen of the last century. I think using this opportunity to come out of my self-imposed hibernation is not a bad idea, I should at least honour a world icon.
 

Madiba, as he was fondly called left a great void to be filled, even in death, he is still pulling crowd and uniting foes. His memorial today is seen as the largest gathering of world leaders, incidentally, the US President Obama might shake hands with his Iranian counterpart President Rouhani, a feat that would be the first between a US president and an Iranian leader since the two countries' diplomatic relations broke down in the wake of the Iranian revolution. Even those that fought against what he stood for, shall all be in attendance to honour and pay their last respects.


We should take a cue from his life style and see how we can all make the world a better place. May your soul rest in perfect peace MADIBA.
