  • Johannesburg - Nelson Mandela's July 18 birthday is annual cause for celebration in South Africa and draws attention from his many local and international admirers.

    This year, the partying also has a serious side, with the launch on Wednesday - Mandela's 89th birthday - of a humanitarian campaign to be led by Mandela, former United States president Jimmy Carter, former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan and other "elders" of the global village.

    Leave a birthday wish for Madiba and we'll pass it on to the man himself!

      HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MODERN-DAY CHRIST!
    17/07/2007 19:14
    Rholihlahla On this momentous occassion of your 89th birthday, I would like to wish you many many many happy returns, from the bottom of my heart. Everytime your name is mentioned (even if it's in something as un-noticable like Brenda Fassie's Black President), I am always overwhelmed with emotion. Thank you a zillion times for everything that you have done so selflessly for us, your people, as well as for our beautiful country. My friends always argue with me whenever I say the statement below, but I believe it completely:- WE ARE A GENERATION THAT IS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE TIMES OF THE MODERN-DAY JESUS CHRIST, NELSON MANDELA. Happy birthday, DLOMO, MADIBA, SOPITSHO, NGQOLOMSILA, YEM-YEM, VELA BAMBHENTSELE! - Nceba Mbopha

    Madiba, i was too young to remember anything of the apartheid years, but i'm awed by the fact that although you could have justly destroyed the white population group, you chose to rise above it and to forgive. If all of us could adopt the same spirit then our country would rise above the rest. Happy birthday Madiba, you're my inspiration! May God bless you and keep you & make His face to shine on you always! Heidi - Heidi Morrison
