"And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same".
There are not too many people who have not been touched by Nelson Mandela's spirit. Inspired by myriad influences, taking the best from both his native heritage, from the example of foreign freedom movements, and even from the history and literature of his oppressors, Nelson Mandela forged a vision of humanity that encompasses all peoples and that sets the hallmark for the rest of the world.
90: The Nelson Mandela Years, a special biography published in commemoration of Mandela Day on July 18, is a timely opportunity to express the light that the world’s greatest statesman has shone on so many lives, companies and institutions.
In numerous biographies authors have, over the years, profiled the extraordinary achievements of Africa's favourite son with an authoritative voice. What makes 90 The Nelson Mandela Years entirely different is the fact that it is
written not with just one voice – ours – but with the voices of a cross-section of the most inspiring South Africans; each of whom were asked to express - in their own words - what Mr Nelson Mandela has meant to them. This bringing together of personal messages from so many makes the book an inspiring testament to Mr Nelson Mandela’s influence in the corporate and diplomatic sphere.
The personal tribute messages are accompanied by a history of Nelson Mandela’s life and an overview of the changes and developments in South Africa during the course of his lifetime.
