As we mourn the passing of South Africa’s first democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela, it is appropriate that we take the opportunity to celebrate his life and his achievements and take the time to reflect on his extraordinary legacy.

As a true leader on a global scale, his legacy will remain with us for decades to come. The memory of his life and leadership is a challenge to us all to pick up a piece of Madiba and carry his legacy forward in the way we behave, in the way we act and the way we lead.
