– AFC on Mandela’s passing

THE Alliance For Change (AFC) has joined with others from around the world who are mourning the passing of a truly great leader, Nelson Mandela.“Few men of his kind have walked this earth,” the AFC said in a condolence message last night.
“A fountain of inspiration to millions across the world, Nelson Mandela became the ultimate symbol of forgiveness and reconciliation,” the party stated.
It noted that after quarter of a century imprisoned by the racist ‘Apartheid’ system in South Africa, Mandela walked free choosing to reject hatred, revenge and bitter memories for the sake of unifying South Africa for the benefit of all.
The AFC noted that “with humility and the highest moral integrity he went on to inspire the world”.
These are the quality of a great leader, the AFC said.
“May we all take from this exemplary life the great lessons of tolerance, engagement, justice, equality, reconciliation and hope. The Alliance For Change extends deepest sympathies to his family and the people of South Africa. Farewell Madiba.
May your soul soar forever.”
