This is my
tribute to the life and legacy of to the iconic Nelson Mandela, my idol.
The Magic of
Madiba
My Madiba, your
Madiba
Hail my
Madida
Hail your
Madiba
Hail the
world’s Madiba
Hail Nelson
Mandela
For your
militant stance against white domination
You were
imprisoned for 27 years
With dignity
you sacrificed your freedom
For the
freedom of South Arica from apartheid
Spending 18
years on Robben Island confined to a small cell
Your influential
and courage set the world on fire
To free
South Africa from apartheid
The magic of
Madiba
Your
unbending will set South Africa free
Freed from
prison on February 11, 1990
You became
president of a free and democratic South Africa
You showed us
and the world all things are possible
And showed us
how to live in peace and harmony
You showed
us how to forgive
Even those
who gave you the floor for a bed
The magic of
Madiba
Where others
would have held hate you showed love
Rather than
recrimination you led peace and reconciliation
And even
stood against black domination
With a bit
of humour and imperfections
You showed
us the richness of humanity
And became
an inspiration for all to see
And a symbol
of hope for the world
The magic of
Madiba
My Madiba,
your Madiba
Hail my
Madida
Hail your
Madiba
Hail the
world’s Madiba
Hail Nelson
Mandela
