Three years ago on this day on 2013, he gracefully passed away. His legacy is ingrained in history books as one of the Greatest Leader of Africa and the World.
Mandela a forgiving Father of the Rainbow Nation -- multiracial South Africa, was laid to rest in his home village, the small, Eastern Cape village of Qunu where he spent much of his childhood herding animals as a five-year-old boy.
Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in the village of Mvezo in Umtatu, in the Eastern Cape, South Africa’s Cape Province and was given the forename of Rolihlahla. Later, he became known by his clan name Madiba.
The name Mandela was a King’s genealogy name of his family. Mandela was given the European name Nelson on the first day at school by his teacher.
Mandela was recognised as a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He is considered by many as the Father the South African Nation, the founding Father of South African democracy. Due to his unbending belief in racial reconciliation to overcome apartheid, he will always be revered by the whole world as a moral authority of Truth.
Three years down the memory lane as we celebrate the life of this extraordinary forgiving Father of a nation and a great son of Africa, in a “A Forgiving Father of a Rainbow Nation”poem with fellow South Africans; in a tribute to a fallen hero we can only cry with a lots of pain as Mandela or Madiba is no more: Praise the Lord of Creation.
