Anti-apartheid leader and African National Congress (ANC) member Nelson Mandela raises clenched fist, arriving to address mass rally, a few days after his release from jail, 25 February 1990, in the conservative Afrikaaner town of Bloemfontein, where ANC was formed 75 years ago.

Today we honour #NelsonMandela‘s legacy – a man who truly cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all people live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. pic.twitter.com/6szOcskvit

no one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background or his religion..people must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite #NelsonMandela pic.twitter.com/MA4Vv7hWee

What a truly great leader Mandela was! Reminds me of JFK and Obama. ❤ We in America are standing in the darkness but we are looking at the light filled with hope. Peace.🙏#NelsonMandela

Rupert shares via his instagram account how much he misses Mandela. White people in SA love & cherish Mandela more than we blacks do. He allowed the oppressor&the oppressed to be equal in the land of the oppressed. That should never be the case. #NelsonMandela pic.twitter.com/gvSTYtlu5j

There are other “Mandelas” we don’t celebrate but that’s okay, they are represented. ANC needed a face for the world to rally around for our emancipation. Rea leboha Ntate Moholo. Our ancestor ❤️ #NelsonMandela pic.twitter.com/AlYnynjCbK
