Special tribute show on Ruach Radio as we remember and pray tribute to one of the true leaders and influencers of our times. "It always seems impossible until its done. Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do. I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." A towering figure in 20th century history, Nobel Laureate Nelson Mandela showed how wisdom and patience triumphs over all. Nelson Rolihlala Mandela, RIP
