Konga Pays Tribute To A Great African; Nelson Mandela

The true measure of a man lies in how he is remembered when he is gone and today we pay tribute to this great African.

Former South African President and one of Africa's greatest statesmen NelsonRolihlahla “Madiba” Mandela died at age 95 on Thursday after months of fighting illness and lung infection, as confirmed by South African authorities.

Today the CEO and entire team of Konga.com pay tribute to this great man and father of Africa.

Africa has lost a father.
Your light shone so bright…so very bright.
We felt it's warm glow as far away as Nigeria.
As you leave us, we wonder,
Where are the other good men?
Go well old man...You have done your part.
It is up to us now.

Mandela was a force of hope to not just Africans but to the World. He was known for many things but his compassion and progress through peaceful resistance stood him out. His contributions and the number of people he inspired are innumerable.

Today we pay tribute to a great African.
Goodbye Mandela.
