Father of the Nation
“Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind, and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves.”
These wise words were once said by our iconic leader President Nelson Mandela. In a close-up portrait of Nelson Mandela, ‘the father of the nation’ looks solemn as he poses for the portrait. Madiba was a dignified humble man who carried the weight of South Africa’s freedom on his shoulders.
He was an inspirational figure to all South Africans and the world alike.
“There is nothing I fear more than waking up without a program that will help me bring a little happiness to those with no resources, those who are poor, illiterate, and ridden with terminal disease.” ~ Nelson Mandela
