It is with the deepest shock and sadness that we’ve learned of the passing of Nelson Mandela on 5 December 2013. The Republic of Equatorial Guinea, through its embassy in the United Kingdom, sends its heartfelt condolences to the people of the Republic of South Africa and to all nations of the world for this irreparable loss.
Madiba, the iconic freedom fighter, fought for all of us, hoped for all of us, in his love of all of us: we must now embody his legacy of hope, peace, justice and tolerance and become his living memorial through our actions.
Equatorial Guinea stands with the Republic of South Africa wholeheartedly in the celebration of the life of Nelson Mandela, who in turn inspired the lives of so many. We praise and thank God Almighty for having allowed us to share with Madiba his time on Earth.
God has certainly blessed our existence.
