MANDELA'S LIFE SERVES AS INSPIRATION FOR ENTIRE WORLD, BAN SAYS AT
MEMORIAL SERVICENew York, Dec 10 2013 11:00AM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today paid tribute to the late Nelson
Mandela, telling the tens of thousands gathered at the memorial
service held in Johannesburg that the life and legacy of the former
South African president was an inspiration not only for his country
but for the world. Also in reference of

"This grandest of all baobab trees left deep roots that reach across
the planet," Mr. Ban
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7347">said, addressing
a rain-soaked crowd at the soccer stadium that hosted the opening and
closing ceremonies for the 2010 World Cup.


Mr. Mandela passed away last Thursday at the age of 95. Affectionately
known as 'Madiba,' the late human rights lawyer, prisoner of
conscience and Nobel Peace Prize winner was the first
democratically-elected President of post-apartheid South Africa.

"Nelson Mandela was more than one of the greatest leaders of our time.
He was one of the greatest teachers. And he taught by example. He
sacrificed so much and was willing to give up everything – for freedom
and equality, for democracy and justice," said Mr. Ban.

"His compassion stands out most. He was angry at injustice, not at
individuals. He hated hatred, not the people caught in its grip. He
showed the awesome power of forgiveness – and of connecting people
with each other and with the true meaning of peace. That was his
unique gift – and that was the lesson he shared with all humankind."

The Secretary-General, who was among nearly 100 world leaders
attending the service, said that South Africa's democratic
transformation was a victory by and for South Africans.

"But it was also a triumph for the ideals of the United Nations – and
for anyone, anywhere, who has ever faced the poison of prejudice," he
added.

"The United Nations stood side by side with Nelson Mandela and the
people of South Africa in the fight against apartheid. We used every
tool we had: sanctions, an arms embargo, a sports boycott, diplomatic
isolation. We spoke up loud and clear across the world.

"Apartheid was vanquished," Mr. Ban said. "But as he would be the
first to say, our struggle continues – against inequality and
intolerance, and for prosperity and peace.

"Nelson Mandela showed us the way with a heart larger than this
stadium and an infectious smile that could easily power its lights. In
fact, it lit up the world…

"It is the duty of all of us who loved him to keep his memory alive in
our hearts, and to embody his example in our lives."Dec 10 2013
