Statement by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu on Mandela Day 2012
The greatest gift our nation could possibly give uTata Nelson Mandela for his 94th birthday this week would be to emulate his magnanimity and grace.
I would like to encourage the millions of South Africans preparing to roll up their sleeves to do good deeds for others on Mandela Day to spend a few quiet moments to contemplate Mr Mandela’s gift to us.
