Paul Aarden's Tribute
There are a number of special memories of Madiba but for me there is an iconic one that did so much for the nation at a crucial point. It was the image of Madiba wearing the Springbok shirt with the same number as the captain Francois Pienaar at the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final - that moment said so much about the man, his hopes, beliefs and positive influence and his ability to reach out beyond the moment - thanks Madiba, I'm pleased that you've enjoyed a relatively long time post prison, South Africa needed you and we’ve been blessed to have you...
