Published: 6 December 2013
βNelson Mandela was one of the worldβs most formidable and inspirational leaders,β said Chancellor Steinberg. βThe world has lost a great and moral individual whose sense of justice and fairness, whose courageous quest for peace and equality, serve to enlighten people in every part of the world.β
βMr. Mandela understood fully how the sharing of knowledge is a force for progress,β added Prof. Fortier. ββEducation,β he said in 2003, βis the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.β ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ salutes his memory. May his beacon continue to light the long way toward tolerance and mutual understanding.β
ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔβs flag will be lowered on Tuesday, December 10, to mark his passing.
