Mandela - still a source of strength
As a leader, Nelson Mandela had the ability of bringing out the best in people - of harnessing a person's strength. In death, he is no different.
On December 5, 2013, George Bizos and I were invited to speak at the iKwezi Institute's Mandela Colloquium in Sandton.
For me, the experience was a difficult one.
Little did the crowd know that our address was probably the last public event held in Madiba's honour, during his lifetime.
I had already received a message that my elder brother and long-time comrade would not make the night.
