EDITORIAL
There is a question I want to ask. As
an online nation we have become
dependent on certain icons to be the
perpetual example of good. Nelson
“Madiba” Mandela has been the
protective shadow our humanity
has been able to stand in away from
the garish sun. He has offered us
the perfect example of what it takes
to be human and will leave a legacy
behind of the purest nature. When he
has gone the example he has left will
outlive any of us reading this.
However, who will be the protective
shadow now?
Difficult to match he was a man who
spent twenty seven years in prison
because he wanted freedom and
equality for all people in the world
during a time when racism had become
the characteristic of South Africa. Not
only did he lead the country through
democratic elections, but he took
on the presidency with the aim to
develop world freedom and equality
and became a symbol and an example
of tolerance, cooperation and peace.
Winning the Nobel Peace Prize,
setting an example the whole way
we often forget that he did all of this
while being long in the years. And at
an age where most people are settling
down for retirement he was dancing in
parliament with his colourful African
shirts.
We are fortunate that his message
has reached the hearts of an entire
globe, of an entire world and inspired
so many people to be more because it
means that we are not short of leaders
to take his place.
I do not mean money-minded
politicians gunning to be the first
person to drop the Madiba Bomb in
their speeches to rally their followers
and gain additional supporters, nor
do I mean tyrannical dictators who
claim to follow in the same footprints.
What I mean are people. People like
you and me who are not looking to
run a country or a national or a group,
but are looking to only help. Only to
support, only to do their civil service.
A gambling man may predict that such
a person will herald from the ranks
of celebrities across the First World
Nations, perhaps an actor or a singer
who will rise up with the ability to help,
whose famous face seen amongst
the poorest and most vulnerable
people will inspire the rest of us to do
something more.
However, there is no telling. This is
an unprecedented situation where
the internet has made it possible for
one man’s message to be distributed
far and wide, reaching the minds of
people across the planet. In a very real
way, his spirit lives in all of our hearts
and this could be the spark that is
needed to inspire you to take his place.
You could change the world.
