Fitsapàna alahelo avy amin'ny Filoha Marc Ravalomanana ho an'ny Filoha Jacob Zuma - "The world has lost a true leader and Africa one of its greatest sons"

Excellency,

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of President Nelson Mandela last night. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to you and the people of South Africa during this time of grief.

The world has lost a true leader and Africa one of its greatest sons. Madiba will always be remembered for his visionary and exemplary leadership. His legacy will live forever.

The bereaved family remains in my thoughts and prayers. My belief is that our Creator will bring solace to its members during this time of grief and pain.

Sincerely,

Marc RAVALOMANANA
