Nelson MandelaAn Embodiment of African CivilizationBy Emmanuel KondeTributes have been paid extolling the virtues of a noble soul, Nelson Mandela! But who was this man, a man called Madiba by his people, whose life and work have captured the imagination of the world?I see not what other eyes see. I see that which is unique and sublime in his man, now departed, Nelson Mandela.I see African civilization through him: in his demeanor and comportment, andin his willingness to forgive.In Nelson Mandela I see Africa teach the world, as it always has from times long past, the triumph of love over hate.Words are cheap to pronounce… speeches of praise even cheaper. Being a Nelson Mandela is harder. And that's what Mabiba would prefer.Men and women of words are now enjoined to allay their praise speeches, transcend mere words, and emulate the Great One.Yes, Madiba, an African, has taught the world how to love humankind. And now, in the wake of his transitioning to the other world of the Ancestors, Africans are teaching the world how to mourn.©gurucommunications, 2013"The problem of power is how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public."
