Why I want to meet Nelson Mandela
I had to do a project on him for RE back in about Year 9 and was amazed about what he did and what he went through. A real hero and the one person on this Earth I really, really, really would like to meet.
Provided Leadership to end Apartheid in South Africa and very cool guy.

How do you feel about the current political rambling in South Africa?
I think that he is one of the Anti-Racial Supporters that is still alive. I’m a big fan of Anti-Racism, so he is a good role model for any black or white person.
Until we studied the Apartheid in social studies a couple of years ago, I had only heard of him during an episode of America’s Next Top Model. When I found out all that he had done, I was astounded. Why is it that America focuses so little on important figures in countries other than our own?
This man is an idol for me. Before it’s too late, I would like nothing more than to shake this man’s hand, and I could die happy if I ever had a chance to have a conversation with him.
He’s amazing, definitly one of the most influential people of our time. He is the best role model for standing up for yourself- he ended up spending 27 years in prison for equality which only made him stronger and led to more attention to his cause – which he won!
He is a true diplomat, one of the only real ones in the world, and I have more respect for that than anything else.
He gives ALL his best for the love of FREEDOM.More interestingly he showed the WORLD that REVENGE IS EVIL.
He sets example for the rest of the world leaders how much they should love the people they lead.
YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF PRIDE FOR ALL FREEDOM LOVERS OF THE WORLD.I dont wanna restrict you just in Africa.It is too small for your glory.LONG LIVE MANDELA!!
He came to my school for a meeting with our principal… I stayed ater school that day and got to meet him.
1993 – He paid a visit to the “Sowetan” to give thanks to Aggrey Klaaste and the paper for their contribution to “the struggle”. He asked me my name and whether I was an expat. I said “No, I and my people have been here in this part of the world long before you and your people”. We had a chuckle. A great man.
