contribution to the Avaaz memorial for Nelson Mandela

Rarely do politicians transcend their ethnic or cultural basis sufficiently to achieve recognition as statesmen.  Nelson Mandela gave us an exemplary demonstration of how to do it via his performance in transcending race as a sociopolitical category.  His magnanimity of spirit in speaking for the common interests of us all has proven that the way forward for humanity is through the transcendence of such limiting traditional social divisions.  With the right attitude we can indeed establish unity in diversity.

Mandela will go down in history as the premier statesman on the global stage during the transition of 20th century civilisation into 21st century global convergence.  According to his Wikipedia page his 27 years imprisonment was for conspiring to violently overthrow the government of South Africa, and it confirms he was a communist during the late '50s & early '60s.  From a racial minority origin, further marginalised as the victim of state oppression and adherent of a failed ideology, this remarkable man went on to achieve virtually universal respect throughout the world.  Truly an excellent role model for young folk everywhere!
