It is difficult to talk about Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela without sounding clichéd, because so much has been said about this wonderful man that in some ways we have run out words. His vision, his contribution to reconciliation and the blow he dealt to racism not only in South Africa, but in the world, is a legacy that will never be forgotten. We have all been privileged to be born in the era that was touched by his leadership. His life and sacrifice are an inspiration which all leaders and all people should strive to achieve.

His legacy extends beyond reconciliation on a global level to tactical developments on our corridor and he was instrumental in establishing the Maputo Development Corridor in 1996 through rehabilitating the infrastructure and re-establishing the historical trade ties between South Africa and Mozambique.

We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Mrs Graça Machel, and his family.

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” — Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

Hamba Kahle Madiba

God Bless Africa;
Guard her children;
Guide her leaders
And give her peace, for Jesus Christ's sake.
Amen.
(Prayer by Archbishop Trevor Huddlestone)
