Happy birthday, Nelson Mandela! Madiba was born on this day in 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa. And almost a hundred years on, people took to the internet to celebrate one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known.

When the world is besieged by violence, #Mandeladay reminds us that peace begins in our hearts and minds. #Time2Serve
