Goodbye Nelson Mandela – the world grew up because of you and today, as you’re laid to rest, this same world will be just a tad less dignified. Rest in peace my GREATEST HERO ! I’ve been following you since my early days at Amnesty International in London when you were still a political prisoner. And, wow! How the world has changed BECAUSE OF YOU in these last 20 years – as you became the Leader of South Africa. Mandiba, I have nothing but praise for you, the GREATEST MAN ON EARTH, the great UNIFIER ! (let us not forget Steve Biko )
REST IN PEACE. AFTER ALL, peace is all you’ve ever stood for. We will never know peace ! But you have made me a better person.
Farewell, Nelson Mandela. See you soon (somewhere) because Super humans like yourself, always make a comeback.
Goodbye my leader, my brother, my mentor.
Humbly yours,
Gerald Thomas
