The Archbishop of Armagh pays tribute to Nelson Mandela

‘The death of Nelson Mandela marks the end of an era. He represented for all of us a new beginning for all the people of South Africa. 

‘His powerful faith in a better future for all sustained his country through the birth pangs of creating a new and finer society.

‘I join with so many others in remembering the people of South Africa in my thoughts and prayers at this time.’
