This Mandela Day The Steve Biko Foundation says let us play a part in building the South Africa that Nelson Mandela and many other freedom fighters envisioned not only on this day, but throughout the year.

The Foundation also shares a quote from former president Nelson Mandela;

"It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed. A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity."


Have a happy and reflective Mandela Day!
