MANDELA THE LEGEND, LIVES FOREVER
 |
| Nelson Mandela |
Nelson Mandela, former South African President and
human rights activist Nelson who spent 27 years in prison, led his country to
democracy and became its first black president, died Thursday December 5, 2013
at home. He was 95.
His life was
an inspiration to Africans, home and abroad. Though he was in power for only
five years, Mandela was a figure of enormous moral influence the world over – a
symbol of revolution, resistance and triumph over racial segregation. He inspired a generation of activists, left
celebrities and world leaders star-struck, won the Nobel Peace Prize and raised
millions for humanitarian causes.
His health
had been fragile in recent years. He had spent almost three months in a
hospital in Pretoria after being admitted in June for a recurring lung
infection. He was released on Sept. 1
and officials had said only that he was responding to treatment until a flurry
of activity outside his Johannesburg home Thursday evening, followed by the
official announcement of his death.

was born… R.I.P Madiba!!!
