Nelson Mandela
The virtue and the strength of UWC is that it provides small, but powerful cells of innovation, catalysts for change, breaking barriers of habit and opening broader vistas of experience for both pupils and educationalists.
Nelson Mandela
Democracy is based on the majority principle. This is especially true in a country such as ours where the vast majority have been systematically denied their rights. At the same time, democracy also requires that the rights of political and other minorities be safeguarded.
Nelson Mandela
The UN took a strong stand against apartheid and over the years, an international consensus was built, which helped to bring an end to this iniquitous system. But we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians...
Nelson Mandela
The habit of attending to small things and of appreciating small courtesies is one of the important marks of a good person.
Nelson Mandela
Only armchair politicians are immune from committing mistakes. Errors are inherent in political action.
