The country that is just a few weeks away from national elections bears scant resemblance to the free and fair democracy he fought so long and hard to create, and which he led with such dignity, honesty and integrity for five inspiring years.
The ongoing “Money for Pals” scandal surrounding Madiba’s alma mater, Fort Hare University, would be particularly heartbreaking.
