This week we lost a great man, a great leader who fought what he stood for. He is one of my personal hero’s and I would like to dedicate this blogpost entirely to him. Eventhough Nelson Mandela has passed, his legacy will live on. These artworks I have selected are a perfect example of the fact that Madiba will never be forgotten.
