"South Africa should put the freedom of its press and media at the top of its priorities as a democracy. None of our irritations with the perceived inadequacies of the media should ever allow us to suggest even faintly that the independence of the press could be compromised or coerced. A bad free press is preferable to a technically good subservient press." ~ Nelson Mandela at the Tenth anniversary of the Institute for the Advancement of Journalism, Johannesburg, South Africa, 14 June 2002




"The struggle for true and universal human emancipation still lies ahead of the children, youth and future generations of our planet." ~ Nelson Mandela at the Launch of the Robert F Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, African Public Service Fellowship Fund, New York University, New York city, USA, 7 May 2002 #LivingTheLegacy
