Mandela's grandson refuses to bow to Israel

The Mandela name is recognised the world over and associated with the noble fight for freedom, equality and dignity of the oppressed.

Nelson Mandela transcended his rural roots and ascended the global stage as a symbol of freedom never to be forgotten. That's his place in not only South African history but all of humanity.

There must have been a time when his and his people's struggle would have appeared to be in vain, a lost cause facing insurmountable odds against an enemy that would have appeared at times not ready to yield an inch to a just and noble fight for freedom, equality and human dignity. We all know and cherish how the story ended eventually, and a nation on the southernmost country on this continent will forever be grateful for what was achieved through the Struggle.
