About This Quote
Nelson Mandela is a true example of a person who did wrong in the past but has transformed into a responsible leader today. His former life will always be on his record. However, that record only represents the man he was at one point in time. The Nelson Mandela of today is a man who gives back to his people. He is a man of peace and reconciliation, setting aside the cold war mentality that once kept South Africa from moving forward.
