NELSON Mandela turns 95 today. It is a milestone few would have dared to imagine when he was admitted to hospital 41 days ago. The past six weeks have been mournful, maudlin and even macabre at times as the country, and indeed the world, have prepared for a future in which one of the greatest leaders of all time will no longer be there.
Mandela has left us not only a legacy but also the tools with which to build on his vision as our first democratically elected president, a vision into which he continued to breathe life when he left office.
Today, as we celebrate his birthday, we are asked to spend 67 minutes of our time helping others.
