Nigerians pay respect to “Madiba” their own way. His name is on everyone’s lips and his face on every newspaper front page and every tv-screen. We have talked to Kenneth Emyenghemoe about the great South African leader while he waits for his car to be washed at Mandela Car Wash.
For the whole story and more picture, look up Untold Stories.
Wow, the Mandela Carwash next door to the Goldfinger Hotel–what a juxtaposition!
Could it been any better!?
Great post but sad that such a great person has left us…
In a way it’s sad, but he left something greater than himself behind.
Spero solo che venga ricordato nella giusta maniera!!!

Lo non credo che nessuno può ricordare, ma tutto il bene Mandela alzai per.
May we all carry a spark of his great light.
We have all much to learn from him.
We often ask, ‘What can one person do?’ Mandela is the answer. We need know nothing else.
You are right, one person can make a big difference.
Great photo, Otto. A car wash named after the great man? I’m impressed the car is hand washed. Over here it’s a rarity. Expensive too!
Here in Nigeria hand labour is not expensive…
I still haven’t heard if any respects were paid by the Nigerian government or the Zimbabwean regime.
Interesting observation. I would think no nation would not pay Mandela due respect.
A simple picture that speaks volumes. The POV makes it really interesting. Great job as usual, Otto:)
Thank you, Uday!
What a stunning image – your framing is brilliant. Bravo!
I am happy you liked it, Martina.
