With a name like Rolihlahla (trouble maker) one would have expected Mandela to have been part of the forgotten people of history. He did stir things, those that needed stirring, and did even more in the company of others – as he likes to say.
As South Africans we are greatly honoured that one of our own has attained international recognition with a holiday to mark his contribution Mandela Day. I am not aware of any other leader who has been honoured in this way.
If you were not able to do your 67 minutes on the actual day, find another time and encourage others to do the same. St Mark’s has ample opportunities for people to serve and improve the quality of life of others. That, as you know is what Mandela Day is all about.
Shalom
Moshe
