Nelson Mandela |
Nelson Mandela is celebrating his 94th birthday today! He was from 1994 to 1999, the first black president of South Africa. He is next to Martin Luther King as the main representative in the fight against global oppression of blacks as a forerunner of the conciliatory transition from apartheid to an equality-oriented, democratic South Africa. In 1993 he received the Nobel Peace Prize.
He studied law at the Witwatersrand University, was a lawyer and spent 27 years as a political prisoner in jail.
I am glad that such legends are still alive, they should be a role model for all of us. We should fight for what we stand for no matter what!
I wish him a peaceful and a very nice celebration with his loved ones!
Stay blessed Nelson!
