Mandela. More than a fighter, a hero, a leader, a political genius. A man above men. After twenty-seven years of imprisonment, others would have given up the fight. But he, the tireless fighter for human rights, future Nobel Peace Prize winner, was able to draw unsuspected strength from himself to resist and triumph. He forgave those who had deprived him of freedom. He knew how to find the words to pacify a nation in fire and blood. By his example, he silenced violence, he imposed on everyone the conditions of a multiracial society living in peace. Madiba. His tribal name inspires admiration and affection. All those who have met him have fallen under his charm. His enemies of yesterday have often become his friends.
John Carlin is a British journalist and author, who deals with both sports and politics. His book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation, about former South African president Nelson Mandela, is the basis for the 2009 film Invictus.
