Like father like son, like Mandela like?
As an aging Mandela lies recovering from hernia surgery back in Zimbabwe the fight for who is like Mandela is on between President Mugabe and Prime Minister Tsvangirai. Just when the political parties they lead are scuffling over who is popular now they have to scuffle over who is more like Mandela. When Tsvangirai visited Australia the PM likened him to Mandela. And when Lesotho’s PM visited Zimbabwe, he likened Mugabe to Mandela. Instead of focusing on whom among them is like Mandela they should acknowledge that Mandela is too great to match. He had his own share of struggles and victories. Of course Mugabe and Tsvangiari are also great men in their own right and if they concentrate more on doing what is right for the people then one day future leaders of the world will be likened to them.
