Over the past month you have been of ill health. Sick and bedridden in that hospital in Pretoria. We in South Africa, and the whole world, have been thinking of you. We extend our thoughts and prayers to you and your whole family, in this time of need. We are your your children, and we love you.
But this is also a very special day. It is a day to celebrate the incredible life that you have lived and all that you have achieved. Happy birthday Tata!
You have lived a long and extremely challenged life. You have had a good innings though, and you have shown us all how to live. You are an inspitarion to us and millions of people all the world. When your time comes to leave this earth, rest assured that you will be remembered for eternity.
Once again as one of your children Madiba I would like to say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR!!!
