He is fine and easy going gentleman.
His very action of none violent approach to issues is a model to be emulated.
He is no power monger which set him apart from other African leaders who would rather than give their compatriots a breathing, exit the seat of power whilst the ovation is loudest would rather clinge to power until death just because they were instrumental to liberation of the people.
Mandela is everything that African leaders are opposite of.
He had the opportunity to clinge to power when #South-Africans requested that he change the Constitution and be the president for life, he turned it down rather he opted not to contest.
He gave others the chance to take over the mantle and responsibility of leadership of the nation whilst he is just a statesman.
A statesman per excellence he did become
And a world leader.
He didn't preach about none violence he simply lived it.
May continue sleep in peace even as the country and the continent he left continue in search of peace.
