It is difficult to write about #NELSON_MANDELA without sounding sycophantic or as if engaged in uncritical hero worship. Mandela’s stature and personality left little room for other sentiments other than those of profound admiration and gratitude.

There is little doubt that Nelson “Madiba” Mandela ranked among the best of these.
