Happy Mandela Day!

Whatever Nelson Mandela's birthday may mean to Nelson Mandela, his birthday is a very happy day for this nation and everyone who has had the priviledge of meeting, or inter-acting with, this wonderful man!

The way this country has progressed or degenerated in terms of governance only serves to highlight the quality of Mandela himself. Clearly no-one else matches him or could take his place, as is evident from the disarray in government, not to mention social misbehaviour. The Land does not match the Man, but what a blessing he is, and how happy we all are to celebrate this great man's birth.

Happy Birthday, Sir, we salute you - every single one of us!
