Michael Cassidy, the founder of African Enterprise, worked with Nelson Mandela who died on December 5.
Here is Michael’s tribute to Nelson Mandela and a request to pray for South Africa now that he has gone.
‘The moment South Africa has in many ways been dreading has come upon us and our Madiba has ended his long earthly walk to freedom. Nelson Mandela has died and South Africa is bereft. The country will never have a greater son nor one who left a greater legacy. We need to pray that the values he sought to bequeath to us of forgiveness, reconciliation, large-heartedness, non-racialism and true democracy benefiting all should not be in any way compromised or abandoned, but re-embraced with renewed commitment and deep resolve.
