Legacy

In honour of what would have been Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday Google Africa asked some people to share what their legacy will be.

 

What would your legacy be one day? This is what Google Africa wanted to know from local South Africans. They asked the question and the many answers blew us away.

Some said their legacy would be courage and hope, others said they hoped to spark thought. One woman hoped to encourage others to find the courage to fight for equality and fairness.
