Mandela Day: Great people come and go out of this world, but only a few leave behind legacies that resonate, The Africa Channel reflects.
Great people come and go out of this world, but only a few leave behind legacies that resonate for decades. In honour of Mandela Day, The Africa Channel reflects on the life and legacy of the iconic and inspirational civil rights leader, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, affectionately referred to as “Madiba” and his timeless message of equality, representation, economic empowerment and unity.
Mandela was at the forefront of boldly pushing for the economic and societal empowerment of the marginalised, while embodying the living example of co-existence working with people of different races, religions and social classes, towards a common goal.This message of building bridges resonates with us at The Africa Channel.
Beyond the symbolism of the fight against inequality, as seen in the recent protests, solidarity marches, and hashtag campaigns, we believe that direct action needs to be taken by brands, organisations, and institutions to continue Madiba’s march towards impactful and lasting change.
Finally, as we celebrate the birthday of one of Africa’s greatest leaders, we also mourn the loss of Zindzi Mandela, another icon of positive change. She will be missed.
