Let us embrace the spirit of Namaste - recognising the sacred dignity within ourselves and within every person we meet, says the writer.
EACH year, Nelson Mandela International Day invites us to reflect on the legacy of one of humanity's greatest moral leaders. More than a celebration of his life, it is an opportunity to ask how we are living the values Madiba embodied.
In a world increasingly marked by division, conflict and uncertainty, his example remains as relevant as ever.
When I think of Mandela, I am reminded of his unwavering commitment to truth, justice, human dignity and the courage to stand firm in these principles, even in the face of immense adversity.
"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." - Nelson Mandela.
