[kictanet] Nelson Mandela

Fri Dec 6 12:22:09 EAT 2013

Not ICT related but allow me to also salute the African Icon Mandela. 

One thing he did very differently from an African perspective, is to leave office when he was still needed => good succession planning => good legacy.

This is the most difficult lesson for our African leaders.

#RIPNelsonMandela.

walu.

 'Sometimes, it falls upon a
 generation to be great.'

 Pay tribute to Nelson Mandela
 and share his powerful words today.

 Dear Lucy,

 Nelson Mandela's unwavering courage, forgiveness and
 hope touched and inspired people all around the world. He
 showed that the dream of a just society is possible and he
 challenged our generation to lead the way towards it.

 As Mandela said in his extraordinary 2005 speech in
 London's Trafalgar Square, 'Like slavery and
 apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can
 be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human
 beings.'

 And he ended his speech with a call that moves us still.

 'Sometimes,' Mandela said, 'it falls upon a
 generation to be great. You can be that great generation.
 Let your greatness blossom.'

 One way to honor Nelson Mandela's memory is to share
 those words to prove every day that this generation can be
 the great one that ends extreme poverty.
 Share
 his words now. 

 Michael Elliott
 President and CEO, ONE
