It is with immense sadness that TechSmart and Smart Publishing learnt of the death of Nelson Mandela. Despite this, we celebrate this great man and his immense achievements. It is not often that a person of his stature walks the earth, so to have shared his journey and to have seen his impact has been an immense privilege. 

Mandela is a reflection of what is possible from each one of us on a daily basis. Although he has set the bar high, we should not expect any less from those who call themselves rulers. Neither from ourselves.

There is no doubt that his legacy is profound, may we remember him in our actions daily.
