Sports have the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sports can create hope, where there was once only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination. Sports is the game of lovers.

It only seems impossible until it's done.

I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.

A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.

I don't think there is much history can say about me. I just want to be remembered as part of that collective.

I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.
