THE LEGACY OF NELSON
MANDELA.
Design philosophy for Nelson
Mandela Tower
Many South Africans may have a
first memory of Mr Mandela with his
clenched fist in the air. However
this fist later became an open hand
of Freedom.
Through forgiveness it then also
became a hand of friendship
extended to every single citizen of
South Africa.
The love, friendship and
forgiveness flowing from his hand
are probably the most remarkable
parts of the legacy he left for South
Africans and the World.
Let every person who sees this
structure be inspired to follow the
example of this great man everyday,
everywhere.
May the hand holding this reservoir
and the flowing water always
remind us of this remarkable son of
Africa.
