As a young man, born and bred in Africa, I too had a dream.
Bid bold dreams. One such dream was to lead the nation and to run for top
office. A dream I still hold near and dear to my heart.
Looking at other leaders, I was drawn to take the route
through law school as the choices seemed either military or law. I opted for
neither and chose a path that has been rough but filled with valuable lessons.
Through my journey, I have come across (meeting and reading
about) men and woman who started off good and sadly finished bad. I however
have come across and have been blessed and been inspired by Nelson Mandela.
A true son of Africa and an inspiration. This world really
needs a few more Madiba’s and as I pray for him and his family, I am reminded
what a difference staying the right side of history can make. What humility can
do and what a difference one can make by refusing to be greedy or corrupt.
How I wish and hope that leaders the world over can learn
from Nelson Mandela.
