R.I.P. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. 1918 - 2013. Madiba is at rest. None of us privileged enough to have known and worked with him will ever forget his warmth, humility, sincerity and determination - or the ever present twinkle in his eye and the never absent sense of humour. Give thanks for a life devoted to others and recommit to realising his vision. Hamba kahle Mkhonto. The spear has fallen.

Incredible how a man I never new in person and have only seen and heard on tv and radio had the effect of bringing me to tears when I heard of his passing. A testament to a great man who incited a feeling of belonging to his family as children to an entire nation of 40 odd million. The suffering is over, time to take your place in heaven to take on your devine role as South Africa's guardian angel RIP Madiba Tata Nelson Mandela
