Happy birthday and many happy returns of the day, Papa.
Papa Mandela, has sown good seeds which he has been reaping bountifully —he is idolized and supremely respected the world over –from; Africa current leaders should emulate him. He, with a sense of content, refused, a political stand that is becoming rare even in the western world where political power is not lustfully desired, to seek for a second time in office. He belongs to George Washington class—definitely he belongs! I wish him good health.
