The Mandela Brand: Made in Africa, for Africa and exported to the world

From a boy born to the Thembu tribe, he went ahead to become a freedom fighter, a movement and an ideology. Mandela is indeed one of the best Africa has produced and exported to the world.

Here was a man who sowed his life as a seed to see to the end of an oppressive and enslaving system that held his country by the jugular. In him we see a perfect amalgam of courage, determination and doggedness. Above all we see his spirit of forgiveness when
victory was achieved.

Mandela went ahead to model for us the future kind of leadership that Africa will need, the Servant leadership.

Today the world celebrates a man because he dared to fight against the odds and succeeded. He is a testament to the fact that good can come out of Africa in terms of leadership.

As we celebrate him, we remember and reflect on his legacies and his sacrifice and draw our life lessons as offsprings of this great continent.

I've been able to get some of his most outstanding quotes and penned them below as a source of inspiration.

1. It always seems impossible until it is done.

2. Difficulties break some men but makes others.

3. Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.

4. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and country, then he can rest in peace.

5. Man's goodness is a flame that can behiden but never extinguished.

6. A good heart and a good head are always a formidable combination.

7. Lead from the back and let others believe they are in front.

8. To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.

9. Courageous people do not fear forgiving for the sake of peace.

10. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

11. To be free is not merely to cast of chains, but to live in away that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Happy Mandela day.
