“We have failed to live up to the vision of Mandela,” said Bizos. “We have failed materially in many respects.”
Bizos was speaking at a celebration and memorial for Mandela at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.
He said Mandela had a vision of a country that was to be free of poverty and corruption, and never wanted the country to be a “one man” state.
However, Bizos said he was angered to hear people who said that little had changed since the country gained its democracy years ago.
He said, looking at the audience and the students of Wits, that change was evident. The Wits Great Hall was packed to capacity with people of different races for the memorial."
