When Mandela
goes… What will happen?
How will people react? Will people react?
What will happen with South Africa? What will happen…?
So many
unanswered questions…
Mandela is a
very special person for many people. For many people, Mandela is their god. In
their eyes, Mandela stopped apartheid and freed South Africa and I feel the
same way too. Mandela is the reason that we all are united, that we are not as
we were in apartheid. It does not mean that there is no more sign of apartheid.
There are still people that are racist, that threat others unfairly but Mandela
was able to stop part of it. But others don’t like Mandela and they do have the
right to.
I lived in
Belgium before I came to Africa, and I knew who Mandela was. I knew what he did
for his land. And that is quiet unique as it states that Mandela is known all
over the world. And in Belgium, people see him as a hero. A person that made a
better life for many others.
All over
South Africa and I think, also all over the world, people are praying for him.
People are praying for Mandela, so that he can get better. And I know that
soon, the time will come for him to go and everyone is preparing themselves for
it. So that when he does go, they are already calmed down.
I am sure
that Mandela is very important to the black people in South Africa, as the
black South Africans were the ones that in apartheid were mostly targeted at.
And Mandela made it possible for them, to become “human” again. He freed them
and made a better world for them.
Also, when
Mandela goes, it is a sign that we have to keep on improving our country and
our world. That we have to do something to make our world a better place, like
Mandela did. We have to take action…
But I
believe that Mandela, never will be gone. If he goes, he will leave our sight
but he will never leave our heart. Mandela really does make a difference in my
life. He thought me to respect everyone equally, to love everyone equally and
to listen to everyone. He has thought me many life lessons and I will truly be
sad when he is gone.
I want to
end of with a quote:
After
climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to
climb.
-Nelson Mandela
