Cape Town – We are a country in mourning. But we are brave. We are inspired by a man that gave us our freedom and we are thankful for the magic he brought into our lives.
It’s never easy to so goodbye. Since Nelson Mandela passed away on 5 December South Africans have been celebrating the legacy he is leaving behind while the whole world has their eyes on us.
Thank you Madiba. We love you.
