His Excellency Jacob G Zuma
President
Republic of South Africa
Dear Mr. President,
It is with feelings of great sorrow that we in The Organization for Sovereignty of Tamils, Germany and the Tamil people at large learned the passing of Mr. Nelson Mandela, the first elected President of a free, independent and democratic South Africa and a great icon of liberation and an unflinching fighter for Justice. On behalf of the Organization for Sovereignty of Tamils and the Tamil people, I wish to convey my deepest condolences and sympathies to you and the people of South Africa during this time of national mourning. The passing of Former President Mandela is a tremendous loss not only to South Africa and Africa alone but to the whole world.
The world and Africa in particular has lost an extraordinary statesman, a true freedom fighter whose moral strength, dedication and determination liberated his people from the oppression of apartheid and set a genuine example for the rest of world. This gallant son and leader of Africa, through his unconditional sacrifices and heroism transformed his beloved country, South Africa, into peaceful multiracial nation that continues to serve as an example of a true and genuine national reconciliation in the world.
We, Tamils, have very fond memories of Mr. Nelson Mandela, has become a source of inspiration for those of us struggling for freedom, equality, peace and reconciliation. We will greatly miss this freedom icon and giant son of Africa.
History will remember President Nelson Mandela as a great man and hero. Nobel laureate Nelson Mandela’s legacy will live on and inspire generations to come.
At this moment, our prayers are with the people of South Africa and President Mandela’s family in particular and we hope that they will find strength and solace to overcome their sorrow during this period of deep grief.
May his soul rest in eternal peace!
Yours Sincerely,Secretary
The Organization for Sovereignty of Tamils
