Passing away of Nelson Mandela
On behalf of the Freedom Front Plus, I wish to express my sympathy with former president Nelson Mandela's wife and family following his passing away.
It is given to few men to live out their dreams in their lifetime. Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing this. Against the most colossal odds, he had realized the vision he had as a young man.
Can one person make a difference in politics? In my youth I was involved in many debates about this.
Politics is too complicated with too many things constantly changing. One person alone has very little real influence on all these variables, I argued. I was wrong.
One person, at the right place, at the right time and with the right approach can make a huge difference. Nelson Mandela was such a person. He proved this statement to be true. He not only had an influence on South Africa, but on the whole world.
