	07:27:24, July 13 You will be an inspiration to this and coming generations learning about the work you've done to stop Apartheid. I can't imagine the life you must be looking back on now and years to come, the good and bad included. I am the age of 26 and hope that I can be inspired to live a life I can be proud of in many years from now. I do hope you live with that pride as well. I do wish you a wonderful celebration. I hope to send you a similar message in 20 years. Happiness, health, peace and harmony....Jen Csiffary

	02:58:48, July 12 Happy Birthday Mr Mandela. Our understanding of the struggle and problems of your poeple has grown over the last seven months. Through cultural exchange our extended family in South Africa has grown (and is still growing). Over 40 friendships formed in Soshanguve(Golden Future Faces)and Soweto (Ipi Ntombi & Rishile Gumboot Dancers). We are planning an unforgettable get together in the two areas in April 99. As a result of the messages of hope conveyed to us through correspondence with these people, the day will not come soon enough for us to spend time with our newfound families In South Africa. We hope you will be visiting the South African High Commission in Canberra in December, and we hope we have the opportunity to meet you. All our love & best wishes David Lorraine Danielle & Katie Pring.

	19:35:50, July 11 Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Nelson! Happy Birthday to you. Since this would probably be as close of a chance I have to communicating with you and knowing you're reading this, I want to say that you are truly a man who leads a life of moral consciousness and passion. From everything that I have heard, read and seen concerning SA, I am shocked that SA has made such a transition. As an African-American, you are an example of what we can and should be. In my heart, you're right up there with Jesus, Dr. King and all crusaders for justice. May God bless you spiritually, emotionally and physically. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY.

	06:58:38, July 11 President Nelson Mandela , the living legend of struggle againgst apartheid, has set the model which the freedom fighters in the developing countries should have followed from the beginning. This will go a long way in strengthening the pillars of Democracy in South Africa as well as a new trend setter for the leadership in the developing countries of the South. Three Cheers to the Noblest Stateman. I and members of the Indian Society for Afro-Asian Studies (ISAAS) who are proud of its total support to the struggle against apartheid, wish President Nelson Mandela a long and happy life and look forweard to an opportunity to honour him as The Noble Statesman of the Millenia.

	04:33:15, July 11 J'Ètais ý New York lorsqu'ý la tÈlÈvision je t'ai vu ý ta sortie de prison. J'en ai pleurÈ d'Èmotion. Je t'ai vu ý un mËtre ý peine de moi lorsque tu t'es rendu au siËge de l'ONU et que ton seul sourire, pendant des applaudissments qui promettaient de ne plus avoir de fin, a fait frÈmir de contentement l'assemblÈe rÈunie. Qu'est-ce que j'ai ÈtÈ fier d'Ítre africain aprËs ton interview avec Ted Coppel trËs bon journaliste mais pÈtri dans un environnement qui veut que l'intÈrÍt immÈdiat l'emporte toujours sur les principes moraux. Je t'ai entendu aussi rÈpondre ý une rÈflexion insidieuse et dÈpassÈe de Bush que seuls les membres de l'ANC Ètaient ý mÍme de dÈcider du moment opportun pour renoncer ý la lutte armÈe. A une pÈriode où, afin de ne pas gÍner le libÈralisme Èconomique triomphant, l'apologie de l'anti-hÈro est en vogue, il fallait un hÈros et modËle pour nos enfants, tu es celui-lý. Mais ces apprÈciations qui sont la vision intellectuelle d'un homme modestement cultivÈ ne rÈsument pas tout le bien que des gens encore plus modestes pensent de toi et notamment cette jeune gabonaise que je ne connais pas et qui a l‚cher un jour Mais pourquoi ne ferait-on pas les Etats-Unis d'Afrique dont Mandela serait le PrÈsident. Tous ceux qui t'aiment souhaitent que la paix en Afrique du Sud survive ý ton dÈpart des affaires . Ma femme et mes enfants se joignent ý moi pour te dire mbolo (le bonjour de chez nous mais veut dire Èthymologiquement vis vieux) et te souhaiter ogandaga n'awendjË (bÈnÈdiction et bonheur.
