Nelson Mandela paid a big prize for freedom of his people in South Africa

Every generation of Africans henceforth, should be proud of this great statesman

Life in jail for 27 years, was the pain he endured to set his people free from Apartheid rule

So much will be said about his life and times for a long time to come

On the five continents, Madiba is revered. The Mandela, is Africa’s coming money currency

No more, should leaders in any country hold their people in captivity

 

Madiba will remain the greatest statesman Africa has produced

African Union (AU) should uphold his lessons of freedom and statesmanship

No time is too long, or prize too big to pay, for freedom of citizens

Don’t hold your people in captivity; don’t take their welfare for granted

Every leader should emulate Madiba’s fight for self-determination and good governance

Let my people go! He told the Apartheid Pharaohs. They let go, 27 years later

A great African statesman has gone to be with the Lord @ 95. Fare thee well, Madiba.
