"He not only embodied Ubuntu; he taught millions to find that truth within
themselves. It took a man like Madiba to free not just the prisoner, but the
jailor as well; to show that you must trust others so that they may trust you;
to teach that reconciliation is not a matter of ignoring a cruel past, but a
means of confronting it with inclusion, generosity and truth. He changed laws,
but also hearts."
Like many, many people I was mesmerised by President Obama's speech at Madiba's Memorial Service. For me, it was one of the great speeches. Inspiring, delivered professionally with enormous passion, and deep emotion. I believe we will be quoting from this speech for many years, particularly, "He makes me want to be a better man" but for me, the words above, resonated most strongly. The president thanked South Africans for sharing Mandela with the world, I would like to thank him personally for sharing his words with South Africa.
