Text, Audio, Video of Tribute

 

"Although born into the brutal embrace of Apartheid, scarred by the savage atmosphere of racism, unjustly imprisoned in the bloody maws of South African Dungeons"

"We watched as the hope of Africa sprang through the prison’s doors
His stupendous heart intact,
His gargantuan will
Hale and hearty."

"Yet we, his inheritors will open the gates wider for reconciliation and we will respond generously to the cries of Blacks and Whites, Asian, Hispanics, the poor who live piteously on the floor of our planet."

"We will not withhold forgiveness
Even from those who do not ask."
