Nelson Mandela at 90 Concert. 46664 It's In Our Hands
I'm writing this from the Nelson Mandela at 90 Concert here in Hyde Park. Having just seen Nelson Mandela on stage handing the baton on to others to fight oppression and REAL human rights abuses.
He is one of the greatest men of our generation. His Supporters created a sea change of opinion throughout the world. Nelson Mandela had the courage of his convictions to stand up for what he believed was right. I know for sure I couldn't have indured half of what Nelson Mandela did in jail. Let alone go on to run the country once having been released from jail.
Morgan Tsvangirai could do the same if he wasn't so afraid of being killed rather than just to be thrown in Jail as Nelson Mandela was.
Things like this do put our own trouble with Defra and the RPA in perspective. Although it sometimes seems like it might take just as long to get our point understood.
The Concert has just finished with a Queen medley and of course "Free Nelson Mandela." Fantastic!!
