IN THE WORDS OF
NELSON MANDELA
Â
On Favourite Things:
Koeksisters are my favourite: in 1941 I was paid £2 a month
and I reserved 10/- each weekend for koeksisters.
On His Last Day:
On my last day I want to know that those who remain behind
will say: ‘The man who lies here has done his duty for his
country and his people.’
On Regrets:
My greatest regret in life is that I never became the heavyweight
boxing champion of the world.
On His Marriage to Graça Machel, 18 July 1998:
My wife has put a spring in me and made me full of hope.
of any democracy.
On Humanity:
It is a fact of the human condition that each shall, like a meteor
– a mere brief passing moment in time and space – flit across
the human stage and pass out of existence.
