Today is a sad day for the world. Today, the world received news of a truly inspirational man's death. Usually I am annoyed by how much a celebrities death is broadcast on the news channels when loads of other more genuine, more worthy people die everyday with no recognition. I understand that celebrities have a high profile but they waste their lives away from ignorance and arrogance. But Nelson Mandela's death truly is one that should be celebrated for he was not a celebrity, he was a sign of hope for millions of people- he was the inspiration for every black person in South Africa during the apartheid.
He lived a glorious life and although I know he spent a quarter of his life locked up, his life was long and cherished by so many people around the world. May he forever rest in peace knowing the huge impact he leaves on the Earth.
He was and still will be one of the iconic features of this century. He will always be remembered and applauded from his bravery.
I'm not the only one saying that we lost a legend, but the angels gained an inspirational man.
R.I.P Nelson Mandela!
