[kictanet] Honoring Africa's Hero and Giant Iconic Leader Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

[Gideon]

* Rest in PeaceMadiba      Honoring Africa's Hero and Giant Iconic Leader
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela DotConnectAfrica Trust takes this opportunity to
celebrate and honor the Giant Iconic Leader of Africa:Courageous, Selfless
and Noble. *



*The children of Africa indeed, the entire World mourn and honor the man
who truly exemplified the need for hard work and sacrifice even when times
were very hard, the comforting proof that good triumphs over evil. That
Love wins over Hate. That Togetherness wins over Division. *
*Mandela spent 27 years in prison on Robben Island, fighting over
stereotypes and seeking t**o restore equality in humanity.  Africa *
*celebrates
the lessons of a man who kept his word. Governed for one term and stepped
down when his nation * *needed him most just to ensure that his promise was
sacrosanct.*

*His inspiring words continue to remain in our hearts "I am fundamentally
an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part
of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed to**ward the sun, one's
feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity
was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair.
That way lays defeat and death." - Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography
of Nelson Mandela    *

*Mandela fought for justice, freedom, democracy and equality. He sacrificed
to ensure that all voices are audible; he believed in change that affects
all levels of living "As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with
yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed
yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but
humility." - Nelson Mandela .  DotConnectAfrica is inspired by such
sacrifices to see that Africa can promote justice, transparency and
fairness in all facets of its economy. *



*DotConnectAfrica feels one in spirit with Mandela. We began a campaign
over six years ago that will help bridge the 'Digital Divide'  whistlt
inspiring present and future generations of Africans.  We have learnt that
inspiring the youth and giving them a chance to initiate and realize their
dreams creates the collective vision and future that we seek for Africa,
the continent of opportunities the land that gave  Mandela to the world. *

*Even as we bid farewell to Africa's Icon, we will always remember to keep
working smart and hard and diligently till we deliver our pledges to the
continent.  We see every challenge that we struggle to overcome as an
opportunity; a test of mettle and determination that serves to make us
stronger, more unrelenting and more committed.   We shall** rise and rise
every time because our passion for the continent beats the challenges.*

* "When the history of our times is written, will we be remembered as the
generation that turned our backs in a moment of global crisis or will it be
recorded that we did the right thing?"  -** Nelson Mandela in Tromso,
Norway, **2005  *

*Africa is rising, as we celebrate Nelson Mandela, let us keep his legacy
alive by following in his footsteps and exampl*e.

 * Your Sincerely,*
 *For: DotConnectAfrica Trust*
