This is a special birthday wish to a man that has taught the world how to respect racial differences, and live in harmony and accord. Madiba, as he is fondly called has continued to be a pillar for the world at large in balancing democracy, justice and reconciliation. This day, July 18th has been set aside by the UN to celebrate Nelson Mandela International Day, and many people around the world, his country, South Africa have started wishing him a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
There is one remarkable act being practiced in South Africa on this day. They claimed Mandela spent 67 years of his life making South Africa a better place, they have asked ordinary South Africans to spend just 67 minutes one day a year to make a difference in someone else's life. If this can be emulated throughout the world, the world will truly be a better place.
