“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear… Change affect all of us differently, none of us are left untouched. In the midst of change there are those that loath, fear and fight it and then there are those that see change as an opportunity to innovate. We realise that … change is also the opportune time for all to work together for the betterment of our nation” sdfd Nelson Mandela
