Nelson Mandela
Image
Each of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld - a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.
Nelson Mandela
Image
We must work together to ensure the equitable distribution of wealth, opportunity and power in our society.
Nelson Mandela
Image
There are many people who have worked just because they love the community in which they are in, without expecting any financial consideration.
Nelson Mandela

If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.
Nelson Mandela

The time comes in the life of any nation when there remain only two choices - submit or fight. That time has now come to South Africa. We shall not submit and we have no choice but to hit back by all means in our power in defence of our people, our future, and our freedom
