The Nelson Mandela Foundation pleads for a peaceful retirement for Nelson Mandela. He's arguably South Africa's most famous resident and much-loved leader, and people all over the world want a piece of Madiba magic.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation receives at least 4,000 messages a month, paying tribute to Mr Mandela, but there are just as many requests for his signature, endorsements, message of support, a public appearance or an interview.
There are also pleas for Nelson Mandela to intervene in struggles around the world. As far back as 1999 Mr Mandela said the following in response to these calls: “I don’t want to reach 100 years whilst I am still trying to bring about a solution in some complicated international issue.”
At 92 years old, after a life of fighting for human rights and social issues, Madiba deserves a peaceful and quiet retirement.
