It's with great sadness that I announce that a pioneer, and a humanitarian, Nelson Mandela, has this day passed away. He was the first black president of South Africa and a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary. In 1962 he was arrested, convicted of sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the government, and sentenced to life imprisonment. He served 27 years in prison.
He was born July 18, 1918 as Nelson Rolilahla Mandela and passed away December 5, 2013. He will be sincerely missed. Our hearts and our prays go out to his family. This is such a sad day.
