Lee Cahill's Tribute
I've never met you personally, but I was at the Rugby World Cup match when you came onto the pitch in your team jersey, and I was deeply moved by the nature and meaning of that gesture. In that simple, unassuming way, you showed us what unity in diversity could - and should - be, and demonstrated the enormous power of forgiveness. Thank you, Madiba, for the sacrifices you have made throughout your life so that all South Africans could be free - and for all of your incredible humanitarian work. You are an inspiration to us and we honour you. Your name will always be writ large in our hearts and in your history.
