FOREWORD
MANDELA-IN MEMORIAM is a book of verse specially commissioned to honor the memory of late Nelson Mandela. Written to celebrate his legacy of selfless leadership and incredible sacrifices for freedom, the poems in the collection radiates with wit, humor and love that reflected Madiba's iconic and exemplary life.
Containing 27 Torches Of Liberty, symbolizing the number of years Mandela spent in prison for freedom' sake; IN MEMORIAM is for all who admired the man Mandela was, and especially those who shares his passion for an ideal world where all are equal and united in purpose of building a better world.
