We saw a family feud developing few weeks ago regarding the burial of the great South African leader, Nelson Mandela, before he actually died. Now, the world community joins the South African people in celebrating this great person’s 95th birthday. He will be always remembered for his contribution toward reconciliation. This selfless leader could have remained in power as long as he wanted if he only wished, but it was not his intention. He served only one term as a democratically elected president. The world has also seen a person who is right opposite to this great leader in Robert Mugabe, in Zimbabwe, where none could put him out of power. The excellent qualities possessed by Mandela made him to command the respect and regard of the entire international community. We wish him a very happy birthday! — S.H. Moulana, Riyadh
Happy birthday Mandela!
