Quote of the Week
“We must remember that former President Nelson Mandela was a constitutionalist. He believed, in his own words, that the Constitution was a “sacred covenant”. Like all true democrats, Mandela knew that real liberation requires the powerful to be bound by a constitution that limits their power. Without his leadership, our nation’s founding compact – which puts power in the hands of the people instead of the politicians – would never have emerged.”
Helen Zille in her recent SA Today Newsletter, ‘We must honour Mandela by upholding his values’
And what values does our ex State-President hold true!
The Constitution of our land - bloody marvelous.
