As a journalist, I was in Abuja in 1991 when Madiwa made his fist apperance at the meetOUA Summit. It was impossible to meet him but it was really a pleasure to sse him at last free and working for a free South Africa. As a French citizen, who spent a lot of time in Africa as did my family, I always was deeply moved by Madiba's deeds and thoughts and i want to wish him happy birthay and may he live till 120 years !
