As I know that there are many portuguese following my blog, take a look at this report about me. I'm very fond of Portugal, as my wife, Graça, studied there, in Lisbon. I think it is a great country and with very good and kind people. Thank you all portuguese who have been here commenting and have closely followed my posts.
Best regards, N.M.

• Mandela Day
Mandela Day was an event started in 2009. It was inaugurated on my birthday, 18th July. It’s not a big and fancy event, but it’s a kind of tribute to my heritage in South Africa as a free country. It’s normally organized by “Nelson Mandela Foundation” and “46664”. The number 67 is the significant number of this day, once I’ve fought for 67 years to release my country from injustice chains. This number, each year is the motto for a challenge. This year the challenge is “67 ways to change our world”. This day is remarkable and is for you, each one of you, to think of a little thing you would change in your life that could change many lives. This day is just to remember you that each day must be one more step to fulfill your dreams. 18th July is that way, a day you can reflect about how you can leave your mark in the world, and be remembered for you acts.

• "Invictus" & Nelson Mandela
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.
I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.

• Madiba Shirts
Is it because of my original shirts? :)
The shirts I use are my symbol. I have always used them as an icon, a call to love and happiness! They're my formal wear, even when I was a President. I feel comfortable and peolpe see me as a person close to them, not so formal and distant, as I belonged to another status. I'm from peolpe, I'm like peolpe, and I'm for people.
Well, here's a website I found, and were you can have your shirt just like mine. This is kind of funny to me, seeing peolpe looking at me as a different but familiar man.

• "New hands be found to lift the burden"

"I announce that my son has died of AIDS. Let us give publicity to HIV/AIDS and not hide it, because the only way to make it appear like a normal illness like [tuberculosis], like cancer, is always to come out and to say somebody has died because of HIV/AIDS. And people will stop regarding it as something extraordinary"

• Carnival!
Fight for freedom can't wait! Follow my steps and never give up on your dreams. Be unstoppable and tireless against those who endager Human Rights. No matter what your age, race or sex is, you have a duty to the world: helping each other and spread peace as a seed to a better understanding between nations and peolpe.
