They are looking for stories that illustrate Madiba’s greatness through his individual acts of kindness, humility and love for people, or his sense of humour. A story may be as short or as long as one wishes, provided it is of a personal nature and includes why one thinks it illustrates Madiba’s greatness.

Some of the contributions will be selected for a book to be published in both South Africa and the rest of the world. It will include contributions by high-profile politicians, celebrities, political activists and friends. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital.

Should one be willing to participate, email one's contribution and any photograph one may have of the meeting to [email protected].
