Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader and activist for human rights.<\/p>\n
Mandela was arrested for conspiring to overthrow the state and sentenced to life imprisonment and stayed in prison for 27 years. Because of the\u00a0domestic and international pressure and with fears of a racial civil war, President F. W. de Klerk released him in 1990.\u00a0He was President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.<\/p>\n
To\u00a0honour his life and work, the Mandela day was officially celebrated by the United Nations in 2009. This year, we’ll celebrate his\u00a0centenary.<\/p>\n
No matter how small your action, Mandela Day is about changing the world for the better.\u00a0Just as Nelson Mandela did every day.<\/p>\n
I’ve selected 03 speeches of Nelson Madela to inspire you. Let’s make the difference.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That better life must mean an end to poverty, to joblessness, homelessness and the despair that comes of deprivation. This is an end in itself because the happiness of the human being must, in any society, be an end in itself.<\/em><\/p>\n
At the same time, we are intensely conscious of the fact that the stability of the democratic settlement itself and the possibility actually to create a non-racial and non-sexist society, depend on our ability to change the material conditions of life or our people so that they not only have the vote, but they have bread and work as well.<\/em><\/p>\n
We therefore return to the United Nations to make the commitment that as we undertook never to rest until the system of apartheid was defeated, so do we now undertake that we cannot rest while millions of our people suffer the pain and indignity of poverty in all its forms.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
