RIP Madiba Father!
It is my sincerest hope that ALL African and Caribbean leaders and heads of government make at least half the sacrifice that Nelson made: For the sake of their people.
Now go Skeritt, Linton, Persad, Gonsalves .. make that sacrifice for the people.
and the legend goes on,history for those to come RIP father of liberation,what an achievement,a milestone in modern day human existence.
