As we mourn a genuine revolutionary Nelson Mandela let us reflect on the virtues of magnanimity, bigheartedness, tolerance, unselfishness and justice that he did not only believe in but practiced.  As you may recall there is a time when Mandela and his vice were both going out of the country at the same time. What did he do!. He left behind his nemeses and arch rival  Mongosuthu Buthelezi of the Inkatha Freedom party as Acting president. Fancy a situation when Museveni would leave behind Kiiza Besigye as Acting President!. Mandela accepted to work with de Klerk the former president who represented a system that imprisoned and tormented him in prison for 27 years. Fancy a situation where Obote would serve as the vice president of  Museveni in the NRM  unity  government!.

As we reflect on the Mandela departure let  the politicians in Uganda learn how to tolerate each other for the sake of national integration and to create an atmosphere for evolving national consensus values.
