Remembering Mandela: a personal reflection from the UK
Post
|July 23, 2025
DR Seshni Moodliar Rensburg has a book and tea tin in her kitchen in the UK that remind her of the sacrifices and contributions Nelson Mandela has made in South Africa.
She said the items were displayed prominently in her home, and on Madiba's birthday on Friday, she thought it was apt to give thanks to a "truly remarkable man".
The book is Long Walk to Freedom and the tea tin bears his face with the words "Mandela Tea" — the organic honeybush variety.
Moodliar Rensburg, formerly of Durban, now lives with her family in the UK.
"Through Mandela's fight, I was able to qualify as one of the first Indian doctors at the University of the Free State in 2000.
"I'm so grateful to him. This then paved the way for more nonwhite medical students, like me, at Kovsies in Bloemfontein," she said.
