Nelson Mandela - The value of sport
Manage episode 269778852 series 2775506
Former president Nelson Mandela believed that sport had the power to change and unite the world like little else. Mandela once said: Sport “is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers.” Although renowned as an amateur boxer, Mandela didn’t believe he was particularly talented. But his diligence and perseverance saw him succeed where many others would have given up. That and a touch of “Madiba Magic” are the legacies he's left for generations of athletes and sports fans. Janet Whitton looks at the power and value of sport in Nelson Mandela's life.
