ROHIHLAHLA MANDELA
The South African Muslim Network
(SAMNET) joins all South Africans in
mourning the passing of Mr Nelson
Mandela, an icon in South Africa and
across the world, and an inspiration for
so many of us.
We offer our deepest condolences to all
the members of the African National
Congress of South Africa and to all those
who shared his ideas, dreams and
lessons to which he devoted his life.
Madiba left a legacy second to none in
the annals of South African history and
although his unshakeable passion to
To him justice and equality were
indivisible and had to be relentlessly
pursued irrespective of race, colour or
creed and without fear or favour.
Remarkably, he never deviated from the
consistent, principled response to
injustice and inhumanity throughout his
life, even when it was politically
“incorrect”.
We can all take solace from the fact that
his was a life truly well lived in the service
of his fellow beings.
The best tribute we can give to Madiba
would be to emulate many of the
principles he stood for, to speak truth to
power and to continue to build on his
legacy of non- racism and equality for all.
Kind regards
Dr Faisal Suliman
