RT by @VivianeRedingEU: When Daddy and Mum were in South Africa in 1966, they purposely flew over Robben Island at a low altitude and asked the pilot to wave his wings, knowing that Nelson Mandela and his band of brothers were below.

When Mandela visited The United States for the first time, he went to the JFK Library in Boston. He spoke about how much Daddy‘s visit meant to the Anti-Apartheid Movement.

Daddy had been invited to the University of Cape Town by Ian Robertson. In retaliation, the regime placed Robertson under house arrest.

Decades later, at the JFK library, Mandela, laughing, recalled that when Daddy visited Ian, my father showed the surprised young student how to evade the government bugs by turning on the bathtub and sink and talking in the bathroom.

As we commemorate the 10th year since the passing of Nelson Mandela, may we remember that his legacy lives on through us. A fearless leader and a tireless advocate for solidarity, Nelson Mandela was a testament to the power of resilience, justice, dignity, and forgiveness in the face of adversity.

Let us draw inspiration from his legacy, striving to resist injustice, uphold dignity, foster unity, and commit to a better, more compassionate tomorrow. 💙🕊️
