On December 5, 2013, the world lost one of the finest leaders in history. Nelson Mandela was a giant of compassion and diplomacy and his legacy will last for generations to come. This episode is a remembrance of the great man by one of his countrymen and our good friend Nkosinathi Mncube, a dancer, artist, educator and writer. This piece was originally included as part of the podcast "Inspiration With Natty" found at http://nattyinspires.com and @nattyinspires on soundcloud.
