Nelson Mandela celebrated his 95th birthday last week – an extra-ordinary man who lived an extra-ordinary life and made extra-ordinary sacrifices in the service of his people and nation, in pursuit of a better world for everyone.

Having spent much of my life fighting for Mandela’s freedom, and then working alongside him for the decade he led South Africa - navigating an end to a potential racial civil war - I feel that his human values are his most profound contribution to the changes we want to see in the world.

We were inspired by his conviction that, “Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity; it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

My first encounter with Mandela was on that historic day of his release, 11 February 1990. His humility, compassion, integrity – in spite of 27 years in apartheid prisons - still ring true: “I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.”

That is the Mandela I knew - the servant leader. In a world that is hungry for visionary leadership and action that’s what people remember. That is the sadness that pervades our world today. In slums, villages, schools, busses and trains and community halls, we weep because we yearn for the kind of leadership that Mandela provided; we want leaders who are characterized by an absence of political arrogance.
