OUR HERO AND GREAT LEADER NELSON MANDELA IS GONE

On December 5 2013 the world awoke to the  news of the transition of our
beloved inspiration  leader, friend of the poor and oppressed, freedom
fighter former President of the Republic of South Africa Nelson Mandela.
While we are sad at his transition we thank God for his life and his legacy
which  has inspired other leaders in Africa and around the world. We
celebrate  his life, his vision and passion which  gave him the heart of
forgiveness so difficult for many people .In 1994 in an interview  after
his release from prison he said and I quote” the greatest glory in living
lies not in never falling…but in rising up every time we fall…do not judge
me by my successes judge me by how many times I fall down and get back up…I
learnt that courage was not the absence of fear but the triumph over it “On
death he said” Death is something inevitable, when a man has done what he
considers his duty to his people and country he can rest in peace .I
believe I have made that effort and that is therefore why I will sleep in
eternity”” He said in 2002 “what  counts in life is not the mere fact that
we lived. It is what difference to the lives of others that will determine
the significance of the life we lead “Ïn December 2009 he said “Everyone
can rise above their circumstances and achieve successes if they are
dedicated to and passionate about what they do” Let these quotations of our
hero and leader inspire us the AFROFOODS Sub Regional coordinators to
rededicate ourselves to producing a veritable food composition data base
for Africa comparable to other INFOODS Region irrespective of our
circumstances. We salute Nelson Mandela’s courage and leadership in
bringing changes to South Africa after being imprisoned for 27 years.His
vision and determination to live  saw him through the trying times. On his
release from prison he said Ïf we have confidence in ourselves, in our
country and in our future we will succeed in our efforts because the
goodwill of the people will see us through” I on behalf of the Sub Regional
Coordinators of AFROFOODS commiserate with our colleagues in South Africa
for the loss of  one of the greatest leaders of all time. We celebrate with
them because the world would never be the same again because Nelson Mandela
lived. As he is laid to rest in his home township tomorrow Sunday the 15th
December 2013 we bid him farewell until we meet to part no more Rest in
Peace
