Nelson Mandela had the vision, stood up and fought for what he believed in. He challenged racism at every level, and fought against intolerance. This was at a time when there were huge barriers, and he was not acclaimed by the rest of the world.
We need to not just mourn, or even just acclaim what he did, but continue our work in LD4SOS in standing up for those who seek sanctuary in our country, campaigning for asylum seekers to be treated with compassion, humanity and dignity. His magnificent contribution to our society must continue.
