Nelson Mandela was a ‘truly great man’, says Tony Abbott

Quote from the above news article:

“Nelson Mandela will forever be remembered as more than a political leader, he was a moral leader,” said Abbott in a statement.

"He spent much of his life standing against the injustice of apartheid. When that fight was won, he inspired us again by his capacity to forgive and reconcile his country. While the world may never see another Nelson Mandela, he has inspired countless men and women throughout the world to live more courageous and honest lives."

Abbott told ABC radio that the former South African leader was "a truly great man" and “one of the great figures of Africa, one of the great figures of the last century”.
